Israel's defense minister has stated that its forces are intensifying the siege surrounding Gaza City by establishing a military corridor toward the coast. A dire warning was given for the hundreds of thousands remaining in the city to evacuate southward, as those who do not could be labeled as 'terrorists'. It was reported that 45 individuals were killed due to Israeli fire on Wednesday, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has temporarily halted its operations due to the escalating violence. As the Israeli assault continues, Hamas is contemplating a new American peace proposal intended to conclude the ongoing conflict. Despite international mediation efforts, Hamas leaders are likely to reject the plan, citing it as serving Israel's interests. The conditions for civilians in Gaza City are worsening, with reports from UNICEF stating that many lack the means to evacuate despite the ongoing conflict. The situation remains critical as humanitarian needs grow amidst the intensifying military operations.
