Israelis protest for Gaza ceasefire as 78 Palestinians killed

Sources in Gaza hospitals say 78 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli bombings today, at least 9 of them near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid hub in the north of Rafah, including three children.
At least 743 Palestinians have died in Israeli attacks at the notorious GHF distribution centres, as Israeli forces continue to target people waiting for food and hospitals struggle to cope with the wounded.Stockholm protesters demand end to ‘genocide’ against Gaza
Hundreds demonstrated earlier today in Sweden’s Stockholm to support Palestinians and condemn ongoing Israeli massacres in Gaza.

Footage verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency showed the demonstrators raising the Palestinian flag and banners that read “Stop the genocide now”.

Participants carried a symbolic small doll representing the thousands of children who have been killed by Israel, and another symbolic scene depicting Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, condemning his silence about the war.

Israel rejects Hamas amendments, but says will try to continue ceasefire momentum
Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with security chiefs and top cabinet members has just finished. The Israeli leader’s office has released a statement saying that what Hamas wanted amended as part of this framework is unacceptable to them.

He added that the Israeli negotiating team is going to head to Doha tomorrow – the same day Netanyahu himself is flying to Washington, DC, to meet with US leader Donald Trump.

Netanyahu said Israel would do what it could to keep momentum going on the talks.

We’ve learned that Hamas feels that the general framework of the deal is fine, but is looking for three core amendments.

They want talks for ending the war to happen immediately, regardless of the 60-day pause in the fighting.

They want humanitarian aid to go through the channels that were there before the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation became involved.

And they have requirements about where Israeli forces could be in Gaza as part of this deal.

According to the Israelis, those three amendments are unacceptable.

Palestine calls for international action on Gaza, West Bank
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said in a statement that effective international action is required to stop “the crimes of genocide and annexation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem”.

It said that it holds the Israeli government fully responsible for giving free rein to settler militias in the occupied Palestinian territory, through their campaigns to illegally seize more Palestinian land and build more settlements.

“The ministry warns against the continued overreach of the occupation government and its settler militias in violating the West Bank and carrying out massive colonial settlement projects and large-scale demolitions of citizens’ homes, especially in camps in the northern West Bank.”
