US President Donald Trump noted that "time is of the essence" or "massive bloodshed will flow" as high-stakes negotiations between Israel and Hamas are set to take place on Monday in Egypt.
According to CNN,Trump was responding to questions on his 20-point ceasefire plan when he made the remark. When asked directly over text message what would happen if Hamas insisted on staying in power, Trump said, "Complete Obliteration!"
Participants lamented that the wave of antisemitism unleashed after the Hamas attack and subsequent war in Gaza had been left unchecked in the UK, where rabid anti-Israel and antisemitic protests have become regular events.
During his gaggle with reporters before departing the White House, when Trump was asked about the Gaza plan, if there were going to be any changes, he said that the nitty grittys will be fixed in a couple of days.
Israel on Sunday called on the United Nations to step up its efforts to collect and distribute undelivered humanitarian aid sitting on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom border crossing. The crossing will be closed on Monday and Tuesday due to the start of the week-long Sukkot holiday,
Trump has dispatched his son-in-law Jared Kushner and top Middle East negotiator Steve Witkoff to Cairo to lead US efforts, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that a delegation from Israel is also heading to Egypt "to finalise technical details."
The strikes came after United States President Donald Trump urged Israel to "immediately stop bombing" Gaza after Hamas signalled to accept his Gaza peace plan.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to US President Donald Trump's statement last night, which called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, saying that Hamas' response to his plan shows that it is "ready for peace."
The peace plan, unveiled by the White House on Monday following a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aims to bring an end to the two-year-old Gaza conflict.
