Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed prospects of a Gaza truce following Hamas' proposal, deeming it "unrealistic". Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry reported 20 fatalities as civilians awaited aid, with Israel denying involvement. Despite rejecting Hamas' ceasefire, Netanyahu approved plans for a military operation in Rafah, aiming to evacuate displaced civilians. Meanwhile, a ship with 200 tons of aid sailed off Gaza's coast. Australia resumed UNRWA funding, urging Israel to facilitate aid entry. The US seeks clarity on Israel's Rafah operation plan. The situation remains tense as Gaza grapples with ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises.
