On May 17, 2025, Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip killed over 100 Palestinians, including women, children, and journalists, according to Gaza health authorities. The Israeli military is intensifying its campaign in Rafah, signaling a potential ground invasion. These developments coincide with renewed ceasefire negotiations in Doha, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and supported by the U.S. Hamas has offered a two-month truce in exchange for releasing hostages and Palestinian prisoners, but Israel insists on the release of all hostages without agreeing to end the war, prolonging the humanitarian crisis.
