British Foreign Minister, David Cameron says he has a plan for a gradual ceasefire in Gaza, though the Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu insists that the war must continue.  

The war continues, with more Israeli bombardment that killed and wounded hundreds in the last 24 hours. Palestinian Resistance remains strong and seems to have adapted to the long war underway in Gaza.  

Civilians, however, continue to suffer. According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 25,900 Palestinians have been killed, and 64,110 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
