At least 127 people have been killed by Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours. A toll which now stands at 28,985 dead and more than 68,000 injured since October 7, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.

For its part, the Israeli army declared earlier that it had killed at least 45 fighters from the Islamist movement. Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet passed a resolution affirming that Israel “categorically rejects international decrees on a permanent agreement with the Palestinians” and opposes any unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, which, according to him, “would grant a major reward to terrorism” after the attack on October 7.

According to the Ynet news site, an American proposal to set a “firm calendar” for the creation of a Palestinian state “would be equivalent to the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia in 1938”.

The Israeli Prime Minister also pledged to continue the offensive in the Palestinian enclave until the “total victory” on Hamas and to extend it to Rafah, where more than 3 million Palestinians have found refuge.

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement on Sunday that the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, the second largest in the Gaza Strip, was “completely out of order”.
