An Israeli military official said, "we are reinforcing forces in the Golan Heights and along the border, ready for a multitude of scenarios."

American private military contractors used dangerous crowd control tactics on a crowd of Palestinian aid seekers in Gaza on Wednesday, witnesses say, causing a deadly stampede and adding to the nearly 1,000 Palestinians who have been killed in relation to the U.S.- and Israeli-backed “humanitarian aid” scheme thus far.

An Israeli proposal to force much of Gaza’s population into a small enclave is now overshadowing negotiations over a truce.

Bodies were brought to a hospital in Gaza City after the latest Israeli strikes on the area killed 22 people, including 11 children and three women, according to health officials.

Netanyahu’s coalition has been trying to find a path forward on a new law. But his base is largely opposed to granting sweeping draft exemptions and a key lawmaker has stood in the way of giving the ultra-Orthodox a law they can get behind, prompting their exit.

An Israeli scheme to move hundreds of thousands of already uprooted Palestinians to a so-called "humanitarian city" in Gaza has led politicians to spar with the defence establishment, but officials say a practical plan has yet to be crafted.

Famine looms in Gaza and strikes kill at least 30 Palestinians, but EU states remain divided over how to tackle Israel.
