International pressure mounts for a truce agreement between Israel and Hamas. King Abdullah II called on Monday for an “immediately lasting ceasefire” in Gaza.
Joe Biden preferred to evoke a pause “of at least six weeks” as part of an agreement. Hamas Ministry of Health announced a death toll of 28,340 people, the majority women, children and adolescents, in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war. It also reported a total of 164 deaths in the last 24 hours, and 67,984 people injured since the beginning of the conflict.
