At least 71 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed in predawn attacks by Israel in the north and south of the territory. The latest killings will add to the Gaza Health Ministry\u2019s death toll of some 436 Palestinians, including 183 children, killed since Israel shattered the ceasefire on Tuesday. Palestine\u2019s Mission to the United Nations called on the \u201cinternational community to act with urgency\u201d to put an end to Israel\u2019s renewed assault on Gaza, which has killed at least 436 Palestinians since Tuesday, including 183 children. \u201cThis ruthless, unlawful use of force against a defenceless civilian population must be halted immediately,\u201d it said in a statement. It added that \u201cfailure to act\u201d against Israel\u2019s \u201cblatant war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of genocide will further undermine any shred of credibility the Security Council might still have\u201d. Hamas has condemned Israel\u2019s targeting of a building in Deir el-Balah used by foreign workers with UN agencies, which resulted in the killing of one international employee and the wounding of five others. \u201cThis crime is not only a blatant violation of international humanitarian law but also part of the occupation\u2019s systematic policy of targeting civilians and aid workers, aiming to terrorise them and prevent them from fulfilling their humanitarian duty toward our people, further deepening the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip,\u201d the group said in a statement. \u201cWe call on the international community and the United Nations and its institutions to take a clear and decisive stand against this heinous crime, condemn the fascist actions of terrorist Netanyahu\u2019s government, and work seriously to hold it accountable for its crimes against humanity,\u201d the statement added. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday discussed the latest situation in Gaza in a phone call with an official from Palestinian group Hamas, Khalil al-Hayya, a Turkish foreign ministry source said. French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday he spoke with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and that the two leaders condemned the resumption of Israeli strikes on Gaza. Macron said they will co-chair a conference on a two-state solution, aimed at “helping revive a political perspective for both Israelis and Palestinians.” Macron also said he welcomed the crown prince’s Jeddah initiative, which enabled the start of peace negotiations in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
