Israel accused of killing dozens in stepped-up Gaza operations as Trump hopes for a ceasefire in days
Netanyahu says he's going to Washington to meet with Trump Israel's military said Tuesday that it had expanded its operations in Gaza, where residents reported fierce gunfire and shelling days ahead of a planned trip to Washington by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The intensified operations came after days of mounting calls for a ceasefire, with President Trump — whom Netanyahu is slated to meet with next week — among those urging Israel to strike a deal to halt the war and bring home the hostages still held in Gaza. Mr. Trump said Tuesday that he hoped a ceasefire agreement would be reached "sometime next week." Israel's campaign to destroy the Palestinian militant group Hamas has continued unabated, however, with Hamas-ruled Gaza's civil defense agency reporting that Israeli forces had killed 17 people on Tuesday, with dozens more feared to be trapped under rubble.

Separately, it said Tuesday morning that in recent days it had "expanded its operations to additional areas within the Gaza Strip, eliminating dozens of terrorists, and dismantling hundreds of terror infrastructure sites both above and below ground." Raafat Halles, 39, from the Shujaiya district of Gaza City district, said "airstrikes and shelling have intensified over the past week," and tanks have been advancing. "I believe that every time negotiations or a potential ceasefire are mentioned, the army escalates crimes and massacres on the ground," he said. "I don't know why." Amer Daloul, a 44-year-old resident of Gaza City, also reported fiercer clashes between Israeli forces and militants in recent days, telling the AFP he and his family were forced to flee the tent they were living in at dawn on Tuesday, "due to heavy and random gunfire and shelling." In the southern city of Rafah, resident Mohammed Abdel Aal, 41, said there were Israeli tanks in most parts of town. The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health said earlier Tuesday that 116 people had been killed across the enclave over the previous 24 hours, raising the total published death toll in Gaza since the war began to 56,647. Media restrictions in Gaza imposed by Israel and difficulties faced by local reporters in accessing many areas make it impossible to independently verify figures and details provided by authorities in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory. A group of 169 aid organizations called on Monday for an end to the new U.S.- and Israeli-backed aid distribution organization known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which they said forced starving civilians to "trek for hours through dangerous terrain and active conflict zones, only to face a violent, chaotic race" for food. They urged a return to the U.N.-led aid mechanism that existed until March, when Israel imposed a full blockade on humanitarian assistance entering Gaza during an impasse in truce talks with Hamas. The GHF has distanced itself from reports of aid seekers being killed near its centers. Netanyahu announced that he would visit Washington to meet with Mr. Trump and senior U.S. security officials next week, after previously saying Israel's campaign against Iran had created "opportunities," including for freeing hostages still held in Gaza. Israel's declaration of victory in the recent 12-day war has raised pressure on it to put a similar end to more than 20 months of devastating fighting in Gaza. The war in Gaza was sparked by the Hamas-orchestrated Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack on southern Israel, which killed about 1,200 people and saw 251 taken as hostages back into Gaza. About 20 of those captives are still believed to be alive. Hamas official Taher al-Nunu told the AFP on Thursday that the group is "ready to agree to any proposal if it will lead to an end to the war and a permanent ceasefire and a complete withdrawal of occupation forces," but he added: "So far, there has been no breakthrough."

Trump vows 'firm' stance with Netanyahu on ending Gaza war
Trump says he'll be 'very firm' with Netanyahu about ending the Gaza war during their 7 July meeting. He hopes for a ceasefire 'sometime next week' following the end of Israel's brief war with Iran. Trump wants a Gaza deal soon, aiming to add it to his list of brokered peace agreements. US President Donald Trump vowed on Tuesday to be 'very firm' in his stance on ending the war in Gaza when he meets next week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The remarks by the president, made during a tour of a migrant detention centre in Florida, came after he said earlier that he was hoping for a truce in the nearly 21-month conflict by 'sometime next week.' The Republican leader is set to host Netanyahu at the White House on 7 July, and the swift resolution of Israel's 12-day war with Iran has revived hopes for a halt to the Gaza fighting. Almost relentless combat in the Palestinian territory since Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on Israel has created dire humanitarian conditions for the population of more than two million. On Tuesday, reporters asked Trump if a ceasefire could be put in place before Netanyahu's visit. 'We hope it's going to happen, and we're looking for it to happen sometime next week,' he said before departing for Florida. Trump has previously urged Israel to 'make the deal in Gaza,' but on the ground, Israel has continued to pursue its offensive across the Palestinian territory. The end of Israel's 12-day war with Iran - which followed a US bombing mission on Tehran's nuclear sites - has provided a window of opportunity for a deal, with Trump keen to add another peace agreement to a series of recent deals he has brokered. When asked at the detention centre how firm he would be with Netanyahu on ending the war, Trump replied, 'Very firm.' Trump added: The visit next Monday will be Netanyahu's third since Trump returned to power in January, and comes on the heels of the US president making a rare intervention into domestic Israeli politics. Trump appeared over the weekend to threaten US aid to Israel as he called in a social media post for prosecutors to drop long-running corruption charges against Netanyahu. Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to visit Trump in his second term in February, when the US president surprised him by suddenly announcing a plan for the United States to 'take over' Gaza. The Israeli premier visited again in April.
