GAZA: The Gaza Health Ministry reported on Sunday that more than 32,782 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in the ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 7. Furthermore, over 75,298 people have been wounded. The toll includes 77 deaths and 108 injuries recorded within the past 24 hours alone.

Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of Egypt, France, and Jordan convened in Cairo, and appealed for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza and the release of all captives held in the territory. Following their meeting, France’s Foreign Minister, Stephane Sejourne, announced plans to propose a draft resolution at the UN Security Council, outlining a “political” settlement for the conflict.

The resolution, as outlined by Sejourne, would advocate for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, aligning with longstanding international efforts to achieve peace in the region. However, the proposal faces opposition from the Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been steadfast in his resistance to such initiatives.
