Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel would gradually end the war “intense maneuver phase” in the Gaza Strip. According to Hamas, nearly 23,084 people have been killed since October 7. 249 of them died in the last 24 hours.
Thousands of other Gazans have fled south as fighting rages between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters in the center of the Palestinian enclave.
Earlier in the day, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Saudi Arabia to prevent the war from spreading to the region. Washington is trying to bring Arab leaders together to secure not only a truce, but also to prepare for Gaza’s post-conflict future.
