Israel kills dozens in Gaza as Netanyahu defies ceasefire pressure

Israel killed at least 66 people in Gaza overnight, Palestinian health officials said, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “finish the job” in the enclave.

Casualties included nine people from the same family killed in a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, staff at Al-Awda hospital said, as Israel continues a ground offensive in Gaza City.

The attacks bring the total number killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip to at least 65,500, according to Palestinian officials, although the true figure is likely much higher. United Nations experts earlier this month concluded Israel was committing a genocide in Gaza.

Humanitarian charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) suspended its services in Gaza City Friday after Israeli forces encircled its clinics. There are hundreds of thousands trapped in the city, MSF said.

Israel has so far defied pressure to end the conflict, with a growing number of states recognizing a Palestinian state. Addressing the U.N. after a mass walkout of diplomats Friday, Netanyahu said Israel’s forces were “not done yet,” vowing to clear remnants of the Hamas militant group from the territory.

His address struck a markedly different tone to that of his ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, who said Friday that a deal to end Israel’s campaign was “very close.” Talks between the parties stalled after Israel bombed Hamas’s leadership in Doha. 

In his address to the U.N. this week, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani called the Israeli strike in Doha a “treacherous attack” that “undermines any diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the genocide against the people in Gaza.”

Speaking at a protest in New York City Friday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro called for a global force to enforce international law in Gaza and urged U.S. soldiers to “disobey” Trump. The U.S. State Department said it would cancel Petro’s visa over his “incendiary” actions.
