"Strikes in central and northern Gaza killed people in their homes in the early hours of Saturday morning, including nine from the same family in a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to staff at the Al-Awda hospital where the bodies were brought. The attacks came hours after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu told fellow world leaders at the UN General Assembly that his nation "must finish the job" against Hamas in Gaza."
"International pressure on Israel to end the war is increasing, as is Israel's isolation, with a growing list of countries deciding recently to recognise Palestinian statehood - something Israel rejects. Countries have been lobbying US president Donald Trump to press Israel for a ceasefire. On Friday, Mr Trump told reporters on the White House lawn that he believes the US is close to achieving a deal on easing fighting in Gaza that "will get the hostages back" and "end the war". Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu are scheduled to meet on Monday, and Mr Trump said on social media on Friday that "very inspired and productive discussions" and "intense negotiations" about Gaza are ongoing with countries in the region."
Heavy Israeli strikes struck central and northern Gaza, killing civilians in their homes and including nine members of one family in the Nuseirat refugee camp, with bodies taken to Al-Awda hospital. The strikes occurred shortly after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu told world leaders the nation must "finish the job" against Hamas. International pressure for a ceasefire is mounting and Israel faces growing isolation as more countries recognise Palestinian statehood. Countries are lobbying US president Donald Trump to press Israel for a ceasefire while diplomatic talks and negotiations about easing fighting and securing hostages continue.
