Israel has intensified its offensive in Gaza, pushing deeper into Rafah and Jabalia. Palestinian health officials report 19 new deaths and dozens injured, bringing the total death toll to over 35,000. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urges Israel to exit Gaza and plan for post-war governance to avoid a prolonged insurgency. Egypt supports South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, adding pressure. The situation is dire, with heavy bombardments ongoing. Civilians are caught in the crossfire, and international calls for peace and humanitarian aid are growing louder.
