Israel’s continued military attacks on Gaza killed at least 59 Palestinians on Monday.

Overnight strikes also targeted a tent and a house in Khan Younis housing journalists, killing at least five men, five women and several children, according to Nasser Hospital. 

On the ground, Hamas responded to the Israeli attacks by launching rockets at Ashdod, triggering air raid sirens in southern Israeli cities. Israel also issued warnings for forced evacuations in Gaza's central areas, anticipating more attacks.

The attacks have killed more than 50,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 115,000 since the war began.

As the massacres in Gaza continue, and the humanitarian crisis worsens due to the tight siege imposed by Israel, the world is anticipating a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this evening in Washington, with Gaza, tariffs, and Iran on the agenda.

Meanwhile, international mediators continue to hold intensive meetings with leaders regarding a potential ceasefire. UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed met with his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Sa'ar, to discuss efforts to resume the truce agreement
