"The Israeli military said it will close on Wednesday the last remaining route for residents of southern Gaza to access the north, as it presses its offensive on Gaza City. The military's Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee said on X: Al-Rashid Street will be closed to traffic from the southern sector area at 12:00 (0900 GMT). Movement southward will be allowed for those who were unable to evacuate Gaza City. At this stage, the [Israeli military] permits free movement southward without inspection."
"Meanwhile, Hamas has said it will review the outline of the Gaza peace plan presented by Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday, as leaders across the Middle East and elsewhere voiced support for the proposal, which comes after almost two years of relentless violence. In Israel, media and politicians broadly welcomed Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement, made at a joint press conference with Trump, that he supported the 20-point plan, which meets many of Israel's principal demands."
The Israeli military announced the closure of Al-Rashid Street, the last route linking southern Gaza to the north, as operations intensify around Gaza City. Southward movement will be allowed for those unable to evacuate, with free movement permitted without inspection at this stage. The UN reported over a quarter of a million people displaced from Gaza City in the previous month, and tens of thousands more fleeing makeshift homes amid a renewed offensive. Hamas said it will review the outline of a Gaza peace plan presented by Donald Trump, and Israeli leaders broadly welcomed Benjamin Netanyahu's support for the 20-point plan. Trump set a three- to four-day window for a Hamas response.
