Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court are urging judges to reject a request by Israel to scrap arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister while the court reconsiders its jurisdiction over Gaza and the West Bank.

Israel lets limited aid into Gaza, easing its blockade as Netanyahu says his allies can't tolerate "images of mass famine" in the war-torn Palestinian territory.

In his statement, the Israeli leader said that Hamas “want to destroy the Jewish state” and annihilate the Jewish people,” adding that he fails to understand how this “simple truth evades” French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the leaders of Britain, France and Canada of opting to side with the "mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers" in Hamas over Israel.

Gaza's Health Ministry says the bodies of 79 people killed by Israel strikes have been brought to hospitals in the past 24 hours.

International pressure is mounting on Israel amid its renewed military operation in the Gaza strip, as both the United Kingdom and the European Union announced measures to distance themselves from the country on Tuesday.

When asked about the snub, he insisted that it wasn’t a snub at all: “This is good for Israel,” Trump said, referring to the alliances he’d be strengthening with countries that were, notably, not named Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday dismissed speculation of a falling out with the U.S. administration following a visit to the Gulf by U.S. President Donald Trump that left out Israel.
