Efforts to revive a truce between Israel and Hamas resumed Saturday in Qatar, even as the Israeli military unleashed intense aerial strikes and prepared for a broader ground invasion. The latest bombardment, among the deadliest since the collapse of peace efforts in March, has killed at least 146 Palestinians in just 24 hours.

Gaza’s hospitals are overwhelmed with hundreds of wounded, and many civilians remain trapped beneath rubble. Israel has named its fresh military campaign “Operation Gideon’s Chariots”, signaling a push for territorial control inside Gaza. Supplies into the region have been blocked since March, sparking fears of worsening humanitarian disaster for Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.

A Hamas spokesperson confirmed indirect discussions in Doha, stating that the group emphasized ending hostilities, prisoner exchanges, Israeli withdrawal, and unrestricted aid flow. Meanwhile, Israel confirmed negotiations on hostage releases had resumed—without agreeing to a ceasefire or lifting the siege.

Northern Gaza, particularly areas like Beit Lahiya and Jabalia, has borne the brunt of the air raids, with 459 injured on Saturday alone. The Indonesian Hospital reported catastrophic conditions, receiving dozens of casualties overnight.

At the Arab League summit, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi condemned Israel’s actions as an attempt to erase Palestinians from Gaza. The UN has warned of imminent famine, and US President Trump acknowledged the crisis. A Trump-aligned foundation plans private aid delivery, though the UN refuses to collaborate over neutrality concerns.

NBC also revealed US discussions on relocating up to a million Gazans to Libya—a proposal fiercely opposed by all Palestinian factions.
