Israel’s war on Gaza live: 34 killed in Gaza strikes amid ceasefire talks:
Israeli air and drone attacks have killed three people in the Nuseirat refugee camp and two people in Gaza City, bringing the number of people killed in Gaza on Monday to at least 34, the Wafa news agency reports.
“Stopping the attacks against Palestinians is not generous,” senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan tells Al Jazeera as the US and UK urge Palestinians to accept an Israeli offer of a 40-day pause in fighting over demands for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
A US State Department spokesperson says the International Criminal Court (ICC) has no jurisdiction over Israel as hardline Israeli ministers say they will quit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government if he agrees to a truce in return for captives.
The number of student protesters arrested throughout the US has surpassed 900 since New York police removed a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at Columbia University and arrested more than 100 demonstrators on April 18, the Associated Press reports.
At least 34,488 Palestinians have been killed and 77,643 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.
