Israel has continued its deadly air attacks on Gaza, with at least 9,061 people now known to have been killed in the Palestinian enclave. More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel. 19 soldiers have also been killed since the beginning of the ground invasion.

    The Israeli military has said it has surrounded Gaza City and is pressing forward, with a spokesperson adding that a ceasefire is “not on the table” despite international pressure.

    United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on his way to Israel – his third trip since October 7 – to discuss “concrete steps” to minimise harm to Gaza civilians even as the US resists a ceasefire call.

    The Republican-led US House of Representatives has passed a bill providing $14.3bn in aid to Israel, but linking it to domestic spending cuts.
