Israel conducts strikes in Gaza as ceasefire talks continue in Qatar
Summary: Israel's military actions in northern Gaza resulted in numerous Palestinian casualties over the weekend. Ceasefire discussions are ongoing in Qatar as the situation remains tense.
The Israeli parliament has passed a law banning the UN agency UNRWA from operating in Israel, drawing sharp criticism from several Western nations. They argue this move threatens vital humanitarian aid in Gaza and undermines international efforts.
UNRWA, established in 1949, currently assists about 5.9 million Palestinian refugees. Israel has long opposed the agency, particularly after the October 7 attacks by Hamas, which intensified the conflict and humanitarian crisis.
