The Israeli Defense Minister says that the Palestinians who stay in Gaza City will be considered activists
Wednesday, the Israeli Minister of Defense ordered all the Palestinians to leave Gaza City, saying that it was their “last opportunity” and that anyone who remained would be considered a militant supporter and would face the “full force” of the last offensive of Israel.
At least 16 Palestinians were killed across the territory, according to local hospitals, while Hamas weighed a new proposal from US President Donald Trump aimed at putting an end to war and returning the remaining captives taken in October 7 led by Hamas, which sparked it.
About 400,000 Palestinians have fled the city of Gaza struck by famine since Israel launched a major offensive last month aimed at occupying it, but hundreds of thousands of people are, many because they cannot afford to leave or are too low to make the trip to tent camps in the south.
“This is the last opportunity for residents of Gaza who wish to do so to move south and leave terrorists of isolated Hamas in Gaza City,” wrote Defense Minister Israel Katz on X. “Those who stay in Gaza will be terrorists (considered) and supporters of terrorism.”
Strike strikes inappropriate people at school accommodation
At least seven people, including the first stakeholders, were killed when two Israeli strikes a few minutes hit a school that shelters displaced people from Gaza City, according to Al-Ahli Hospital, where the victims were made. Officials said more than three dozen people had been injured.
Five Palestinians were later killed in a strike against people gathered around a reservoir of drinking water elsewhere in Gaza City, the hospital said. Shifa hospital said that a man was killed in a strike in his apartment. The strikes in the Gaza center killed three other people, according to Al-Awda Hospital.
Another strike struck a tent in the courtyard of Aqsa Martyrs hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah, seriously injuring two people, according to hospital officials.
Earlier Wednesday in the same hospital, dozens of people attended a funeral service for an independent Palestinian journalist, Yahya Barzaq, who was killed on Tuesday with five other people in an air strike while working for the Turkish point of broadcast.
More than 189 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli fires in Gaza since the war, according to the committee to protect journalists.
There was no immediate comments from the Israeli army during Wednesday strikes or the strike that killed Barzaq. Israel says he is trying to avoid harming civilians and blamed Hamas for their death, saying that his activists are anchored in populated areas.
The army said that the sirens sounded in communities near Gaza on Wednesday afternoon after “two projectiles” crossed Israel. No injury has been reported.
The Israel campaign in Gaza killed more than 66,000 Palestinians and injured nearly 170,000 others, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
The attack by Hamas against southern Israel almost two years ago killed some 1,200 people and 251 others were removed. Most hostages have been released as part of previous cease-fire transactions, but 48 are still detained in Gaza-about 20 years believed by Israel.
Trump peace proposal
Wednesday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Egypt, Bader Abdeatty, said that Trump’s proposal required more negotiations on certain elements, echoing the remarks made by Qatar one day earlier. Hamas said he would study the plan, and it was not clear when it would respond.
The comments of Qatar and Egypt, two key mediators, seemed to reflect the dissatisfaction of the Arab countries on the text of the 20 -point plan that the White House turned off after Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced their convention on Monday.
The Palestinians of Gaza react to the last proposal to cease the white house, several people expressing their concern that, if it was implemented, it would take the future of Gaza in danger.
The plan, which has received broad international support, forces Hamas to release hostages, to leave power in Gaza and to disarm in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and at the end of the fighting. The plan guarantees the flow of humanitarian aid and promises reconstruction in Gaza, placing it and its more than two million Palestinians under international governance. However, he does not put any way to the Palestinian state.
The Palestinian authority in occupied West Bank, led by Hamas rivals, praised the plan, just like Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The Israeli army said that from noon on Wednesday on Wednesday, this would allow the Palestinians to flee south of Gaza City and not to go north on the North-South road always open.
About 90% of the Gaza population was moved during the war, often several times, and finding food is a daily struggle for many. On Wednesday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said that the intensification of the war in Gaza was forced to suspend its operations there and to move the staff in southern Gaza.
