DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — European officials struck a new deal with Israel to allow desperately needed food and fuel into Gaza, the European Union’s foreign policy chief said Thursday as Israeli airstrike killed 10 children and five adults waiting for care outside a medical clinic.

One by one, displaced Gazans would pass through security checkpoints where they would be searched for weapons or signs of links to Hamas before being allowed into a new “humanitarian city” built on ruins.

Israel is ready to negotiate a lasting deal to end the war with Hamas in Gaza when a temporary halt to hostilities begins in the Palestinian territory, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Shifa Hospital was once the cornerstone of the health system in the Gaza Strip. Now, after 21 months of war and two major Israeli raids, it barely functions.

A senior Israeli official predicts Israel and Hamas will come to a ceasefire in the "next week or two," a longer timeframe than previously expected. Until a ceasefire can be reached, fighting goes on and Israel continues its airstrikes.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has departed Washington with little to show for his meetings with President Donald Trump.

When the onetime director of a Gaza Strip hospital was killed by an Israeli airstrike, he joined a growing list of prominent Palestinian doctors who have died during 21 months of war that has devastated the territory’s health system.

Israel has created “green zones” and “red zones” to distinguish between safe and dangerous areas. There’s little difference.
