President Biden held out hope over the weekend that a deal to pause fighting for six weeks was still possible, as CIA Director William J. Burns toured Middle East capitals in a last-ditch effort to secure a deal before Ramadan. Hamas wants Israel to agree to a more permanent end to the fighting and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
A U.S. Army vessel loaded with equipment to build a floating pier off Gaza’s coastline has departed Virginia for the eastern Mediterranean, U.S. Central Command said Sunday. Officials say it could take 60 days to build, but once operational will allow the delivery of up to 2 million meals a day to aid-strapped Gazans.
At least 31,045 people have been killed and 72,654 injured in Gaza since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack and says 249 soldiers have been killed since the start of its military operation in Gaza.
