Gaza death toll rises to 73,386 amid ongoing Israeli aggression (nst.com.my)
Health authorities in Gaza reported on Sunday that the death toll from Israel’s ongoing aggression since October 7, 2023, has reached 73,386, with 174,250 others injured. The Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) provided the update, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis in the territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-backed 15-point plan to end the Gaza war, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed. Multiple sources, including aljazeera.com and euronews.com, reported that Netanyahu stated at a cabinet meeting that the military would make “no withdrawal until Hamas is truly disarmed.”
The plan, endorsed by Hamas and backed by President Donald Trump, aimed to establish new administrative zones in Gaza, which experts warned could fragment the territory and erase the Palestinian cause. Despite the proposal, Israel has refused to engage, maintaining its stance on full disarmament.
Netanyahu’s rejection has deepened the stalemate, with no immediate prospects for a ceasefire or humanitarian relief. The situation continues to escalate, with both sides remaining entrenched in their positions.
