Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 72 people from Friday into Saturday morning, with multiple strikes targeting areas sheltering displaced people, including a stadium and tent camps. The violence comes as President Trump said a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be possible within the next week. The Trump administration has pushed for a pause in fighting, with a proposed 60-day ceasefire that includes the release of hostages and prisoners, but Hamas has responded with "notes and amendments" to the proposal. Israel and Hamas have not publicly commented on the status of a potential agreement, with their positions on ending the war remaining far apart. The conflict has killed over 56,000 Palestinians, with many more facing a dire humanitarian crisis due to limited access to food and other essential supplies.

At least 86 people were killed in Israeli attacks in the 24 hours before midday on Sunday, including three children in a strike on the designated "safe zone" of al-Mawasi. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was operating in north Gaza to "eliminate terrorists and terrorist infrastructure." Trump's comments came as mediators intensified efforts to broker a new ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza, but negotiations with Israel remain stalled.

President Trump called for a ceasefire in the 20-month-long conflict in Gaza, urging Israel and Hamas to "make the deal" and secure the release of hostages. The Israeli military has ordered a mass evacuation in northern Gaza amid escalating attacks, with the Gaza Health Ministry reporting 88 additional deaths and a total death toll of 56,500. Trump raised expectations of a ceasefire agreement within a week, and an Israeli official said a top adviser to Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to travel to Washington for talks. Hamas is willing to free hostages in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal and an end to the war, but Israel rejects this offer, insisting Hamas must surrender and disarm.
