💨 Abstract

An Israeli strike on a water collection point in Gaza killed at least 19 people, including six children, amid ongoing conflict and failed ceasefire negotiations. This is paralleled by rising violence in the West Bank, including the fatal attack on a Palestinian-American, Sayfollah Musallet, by Israeli settlers. Israel and Hamas remain at an impasse over troop deployment during a potential truce, with Israel insisting on maintaining forces in southern Gaza and Hamas demanding a full withdrawal.
