"The death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has topped 66,000 Palestinians, Gaza's Health Ministry said Sunday, a day before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to the White House for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump on halting Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza City. Israeli security forces meanwhile shot dead the alleged attacker in a car-ramming incident in which a man was seriously injured at a road junction near Nablus in the West Bank. The attack was praised by Hamas."
"Netanyahu has come under heavy international pressure to end the war. Key Western allies have joined a growing list of countries recognizing a Palestinian state over Israeli objections. The European Union is considering sanctions and there are growing moves for a sports and cultural boycott against Israel. After dozens of delegates poured out of the hall, a defiant Netanyahu told fellow world leaders Friday at the U.N. General Assembly"
The death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 66,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Israeli forces killed an alleged car-ramming attacker near Nablus, where a man was seriously injured and Hamas praised the incident. Violence has surged in the occupied West Bank, which Palestinians seek for a future state alongside Gaza and east Jerusalem captured in 1967. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces mounting international pressure to end the offensive as several Western allies recognize a Palestinian state and the European Union weighs sanctions and potential sports and cultural boycotts. Forty-eight hostages remain in Gaza, about 20 believed alive, and ceasefire talks stalled after Israel's strike in Doha.
