Israeli forces killed and wounded scores of Palestinians in new strikes, targeting Rafah and Nuseirat, in the southern and central Gaza Strip.
Palestinian factions warned of the catastrophic repercussions of an Israeli invasion of Rafah, noting that the United States and the international community would bear responsibility for it.
Top Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayya told Associated Press that the group is willing to agree to a five-year-truce and would convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 34,262 Palestinians have been killed, and 77,229 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.

TOP HAMAS OFFICIAL TO AP:
We offered several times to agree on a truce and ceasefire for a period of 5 years and more.
We have proposed more than once the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, with Jerusalem as its capital, and the return of refugees.
The fighting forces turned into political parties and national armies in the experiences of previous peoples after the occupation left.
If we obtain our national rights and the Palestinian state is established, everything we own will become its basic structure.
