There is a renewed push by mediators from the U.S. and Qatar to revive stalled ceasefire talks as Israel has intensified its war in Gaza. Debora Patta reports.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed earlier in the week to escalate pressure on Hamas with the aim of destroying the militant group.

Hamas says Edan Alexander, the last living American hostage in Gaza, will be released as part of efforts to establish a ceasefire.

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 23 Palestinians in Gaza, including three children and their parents whose tent was bombed in Gaza City, health officials said.

Israeli cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

The war has destroyed vast parts of Gaza and most of its food production capabilities. Around 90 per cent of the population is displaced.

Frustration has been growing on both sides, with protests against Hamas in Gaza and weekly rallies in Israel pressing the government to reach a deal to bring all hostages home.

Israeli forces have taken over more than half of Gaza in a renewed campaign to pressure Hamas to release hostages after Israel ended their ceasefire last month.

A wave of Israeli strikes across Gaza hit a hospital, a municipal building, a home and a vehicle, killing at least 21 people, including children, on Sunday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to escalate the war with Hamas until the militant group returns dozens of remaining hostages, disarms and leaves the territory.

It was unclear if Israel or the United States would accept the Egyptian plan, whose endorsement by Arab leaders amounted to a widespread rejection of Trump’s proposal.

The first phase of the ceasefire, which included a surge in humanitarian assistance, expired on Saturday but a second phase has yet to be negotiated.
