Trump says a ceasefire agreement could be reached "next week" as the deaths in Gaza rise
Last night, the Israeli army killed at least 50 people, including children, in attacks in Gaza City, Jabalia, Deir al-Balah, Khan Yunis and Rafah, killing at least 64 people throughout Palestine.
US President Donald Trump has suggested on Friday that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip could be announced "next week." In March, Israel broke the previous agreement and the US supported that decision. Meanwhile, deaths continue to rise in Gaza, where there have been 50 since last night.
"I just spoke to some of the people involved," Trump said on Friday in response to questions from journalists at the Oval Office, where he acknowledged that the situation in Gaza is "terrible" and that it is necessary to intervene "for humanitarian reasons."
In this regard, it welcomes the system established in Gaza for the distribution ofaid because, in Trump's words, "those who are supposed to care for the population (Hamas) are stealing and selling food." With the same argument, Israel also justifies the distribution of aid being coordinated by the Humanitarian Foundation in Gaza, rather than by the UN and NGOs.
Indeed, while Trump was defending that system, Antonio Guterres UN Secretary GeneralAntonio Guterres was denouncing it becausethat system is "killing people", he said. In his agreement in New York at UN headquarters, Guterres said the UN should take responsibility for distributing humanitarian aid again.
According to the Gaza authorities, more than 500 people have been killed in these distribution centres, most of them by gunfire from Israeli forces.
Gaza: 50 dead all day
Far from the offices where decisions are made on their life and fate, the Gazatis continue to be subjected to a constant indiscriminate attack by the occupying forces.
Last night, 50 people, including children, have been killed in various parts of the Strip. 11 people have been killed in Khan Yunis, including three brothers sleeping in a tent; two members of the same family have been killed in Deir el Balah; two children have been killed in an attack on a house in Jabalia; 31 Palestinians have been killed in two attacks in Israel, in a small market in the Al Tufa neighbourhood and near a school; and another in Rafahn, near the humanitarian distribution centre.
Genocide experts and human rights groups have reported that this ethnic cleansing warhas already leftmore than 56,300 dead and nearly 100,000 injured, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
However, theactual numberof deaths of may be 40% higher than that official figure, according to an independent study led by Palestinian political scientist Khalil Shikaki.
The investigation, conducted in 2,000 homes in Gaza using a sample of nearly 10,000 inhabitants, concluded that 75,200 people were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza until January 2025. Many bodies are believed to have been buried without being reported by the Gaza authorities, or are still trapped in the rubble.
