The US has been talking with Hamas through an American intermediary in Doha this week in hopes of brokering an Israel-Gaza ceasefire agreement, according to a source familiar with the matter, as US officials say President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Israel’s handling of the conflict.

Two of northern Gaza’s last functioning hospitals have been encircled by Israeli troops, preventing anyone from leaving or entering the facilities, hospital staff and aid groups said this week, as Israel pursued its renewed offensive into the devastated Palestinian territory.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israel would control the whole of Gaza despite mounting international pressure that forced it to lift a blockade on aid supplies that has left the enclave on the brink of famine.

Two days after aid began entering Gaza, the desperately needed new supplies have not yet reached people in Gaza, which has been under an Israeli blockade for nearly three months, according to the United Nations.

Pressure from close allies is mounting on Israel following a nearly three-month blockade of supplies into Gaza. Even the United States has voiced concerns over the hunger crisis.

Dozens of aid trucks began entering Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing on Tuesday afternoon, Israel’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the NATO leaders are appeasing Hamas and are inviting more attacks akin to October 7. The U.N. warned Tuesday that Israel's continued blockade of Gaza could cause the deaths of 14,000 babies in the next 48 hours.

Israel has begun allowing a trickle of food and medicine into the Gaza Strip after sealing the territory's 2 million Palestinians off from all imports for more than 2 1/2 months.

That’s how Palestinian terror group Hamas described Monday’s joint Canada/U.K./France statement on Israel, praising the move and calling on Arab and Islamic states — as well as the rest of the world — to take “decisive and concrete action” against “savage Zionist aggression.
