Israel launched a new ground offensive in Gaza City, escalating the conflict and pushing a ceasefire further away. Overnight strikes killed at least 16 Palestinians, bringing the death toll to over 65,000. Hundreds of thousands remain in Gaza City, facing famine and displacement. The US imposed further sanctions on Iran-aligned militias, while the EU announced increased tariffs and sanctions on Israel. International condemnation continues, with calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid, as the situation deteriorates rapidly.
