He added that Israel “has a case of response to the International Court of Justice (ICJ)”, stressing the court’s decision in January which forced such Aviv to prevent acts of genocide.
The Turkish call to end the “carnage in Gaza” came while Israeli forces continued their destruction of Gaza City, the largest urban center in the enclave, before their plans for a land invasion of the city.
The Palestinian Civil Defense said that Israeli strikes have leveled more than 50 buildings in Gaza since Sunday morning, while 100 others have been partially damaged. The spokesman Mahmoud Basal accused Israel of having deliberately struck residential blocks alongside the camps of displaced families, destroying more than 200 tents in the last 24 hours.
He said the rescue teams continue to shoot people from the rubble in the Tuffah district of Gaza City after the Israeli bombs has flattened the buildings in the Azzzar district. Mosques and sports fields have also been targeted, he added.
Hani Mahmoud, from Tel Aviv Tribune, reporting from Gaza City, said that he was “tearing to look at these tall tours in Gaza City falling one after the other due to the systematic tactics of the Israeli army”.
“It is not only a building that has been destroyed – it is the services that accompany it, the services that are crucial for people who try to live their lives after almost two years of war.”
Dozens killed, famine deepens
Local hospitals told Tel Aviv Tribune that at least 52 Palestinians were killed on Monday only, including 32 in Gaza City. The Ministry of Health has reported six other deaths, including two children, from famine and severe malnutrition in the besieged enclave, where Israel regularly blocks or bombs.
Among the people killed in the bombing of Israel on Monday, there was Osama Balousha, a Palestinian journalist, said the doctors.
Palestinian officials say that nearly 250 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war – all Palestinians, because Israel prohibits foreign journalists from the entrance. It is the deadliest conflict for media workers in modern history.
The Israeli army said four of its soldiers had also been killed when a road bomb exploded under a reservoir in northern Gaza.
“ Humanitarian zones ” under fire
Israel published new evacuation threats on Monday, publishing cards warning the Palestinians to leave a building highlighted and tents nearby on rue Jamal Abdel Nasser in Gaza City or Death Face. He told residents to move to Al-Mawasi, a sterile section of the coast in the south of Gaza, so-called in Al-Mawasi.
But Al-Mawasi himself has been bombed several times, despite Israel insisting that it is a safe area. At the start of the year, around 115,000 people lived there. Today, help agencies estimate that more than 800,000 – almost a third of the Gaza population – are piled up in overcrowded makeshift camps.
The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanches echoed the conviction by the UN of Israel and announced new measures against the country.
He said Spain would block ships and planes carrying weapons in Israel to use its ports or airspace, expand humanitarian aid to Palestinians and prohibit imports of goods produced in illegal Israeli colonies.
“We hope that they will be used to add pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government to alleviate some of the suffering that the Palestinian population hardened,” said Sánchez in a television address.
He added that anyone directly involved in what he said to be a “genocide” would be prohibited to enter Spain.
Hamas open to ceasefire while violence spreads to the West Bank
Meanwhile, Hamas said it was ready to “immediately sit at the negotiating table” after receiving proposals from the United States for a ceasefire and a release of captives.
US President Donald Trump said he had made his “last warning” to Hamas to accept an agreement. Axios, citing an anonymous source, reported that the American plan includes an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, “subject to the new government in the ability of Gaza to impose security”.
Hamas has rejected this as a trap, claiming that the condition actually grants the power of veto to Israel on how and when the withdrawal occurs.
The war also spread to the West Bank occupied on Monday, after Palestinian armed men killed six people and injured dozens of others near an illegal regulation. The attackers were killed by an Israeli soldier and a civilian.
In response, the Israeli forces have sealed control points between occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, while the troops have descent into the nearby Palestinian villages, including Qatana, Biddu, Beit Inan and Beit Duqu.
Hamdah Salhut of Tel Aviv Tribune, reporting from Amman, Jordan, said that such raids were part of Israel’s policy in “collective sanction”.
“It is the collective punishment that takes place each time. The villages are attacked, the roads are blocked, the control points are completely closed, family members are arrested and, finally, the family home is demolished, “she said.
In Jenin, two 14 -year -old boys – Mohammad Sari Omar Masqala and Islam Abdel Aziz Noah Majarmah – were confirmed in Israeli raids. Wissam Bakr, director of Jenin government hospital, said Masqala died from her injuries a few hours after Jerusalem’s attack.
Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti said Israel uses attacks such as climbing pretexts.
“The attacks on Palestinian cities and the cities of the occupied West Bank are a model that exists without any attack,” he said. “It’s just that they (Israel) use such a moment to justify and intensify the acts of collective punishment against the Palestinians.”
He warned that Israel’s “ultimate goal” remains unchanged: “the annexation of the West Bank and the displacement and ethnic cleaning of its population”.
