Israeli military attacks continue on the first day of Ramadan in the Gaza Strip. UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an end to the fighting as soon as possible.
Negotiations for a cessation of fighting and the release of hostages have not made any progress. Hamas officials said that Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, which are acting as mediators, "are not on our side and do not understand Israel's demands" "We have already annihilated three-quarters of Hamas's forces, and victory will be soon," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
