The Israeli Occupation continued its relentless assault on Gaza for the 320th consecutive day, targeting every facet of life in the devastated region.

The violence includes brutal massacres and acts of ethnic cleansing, forcibly displacing Palestinians from their homes.

This ongoing aggression comes amid intense diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken underscored the urgency of reaching a ceasefire quickly.

During his ninth Middle East tour since October 7, which included visits to “Israel”, Egypt, and Qatar, Blinken emphasized that "time is running out" for a ceasefire agreement.

In contrast, “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu firmly stated that “Israel” will not withdraw from the strategic positions it has captured during the aggression.

He affirmed that the “Israeli” military will not leave the Philadelphia Corridor or Netzarim under any circumstances, according to Channel 12 Hebrew.

Netanyahu remarked, "I am not sure if an agreement will be reached, but if it happens, it will safeguard our interests."

As of the latest reports from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll from the “Israeli” aggression has risen to 40,173, with 92,857 individuals injured.
