Ron Dermer, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had talks Tuesday at the White House with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, President Biden’s national security adviser. They discussed “the transition to a different phase of the war to maximize focus on high-value Hamas targets” as well as “governance and security in Gaza” after the war, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Israel has resisted international pressure to scale back its military campaign in Gaza, with Netanyahu on Monday saying the war “isn’t close to finished” and that Israel would be “expanding the fight in the coming days.”

Internet and telecommunications in Gaza remained down on Wednesday morning local time after a disruption the previous day, Isik Mater, director of research at cybersecurity monitoring firm Netblocks, told The Washington Post. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said it was completely unable to contact its medical teams in Gaza during the blackout after its radio network at its Khan Younis headquarters was damaged by shelling.
The United Nations appointed Dutch politician Sigrid Kaag to the new role of senior humanitarian and reconstruction coordinator for Gaza, responsible for facilitating and accelerating aid deliveries. The position was mandated as part of the U.N. Security Council’s resolution last week to expand aid to civilians in the enclave.
U.S. military assets shot down 12 attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two land attack cruise missiles in the Red Sea fired by Houthi militants in Yemen, U.S. Central Command said on social media. There was no damage to ships in the area or reported injuries, it said. The Houthis are targeting commercial shipping in the waterway in protest over Israel’s war in Gaza.
At least 20,915 people have been killed in Gaza and more than 54,900 wounded since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. About 1,200 people were killed in the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
