Israel is facing mounting international criticism for its latest offensive and pressure to let aid into Gaza amid a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

The Israeli military intensified operations across Gaza Thursday, killing more than 100 people, and pledged to continue bombings as US President Donald Trump suggested establishing a “freedom zone” in the enclave.

The official reiterated that Hamas seeks a comprehensive package deal that includes the release of all hostages held in Gaza in exchange for an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire, a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and the entry of humanitarian aid.
