The Israeli army has called on Palestinians to evacuate areas in the northern Gaza Strip as Donald Trump calls for a truce in the conflict with Hamas.

Israel steps up operations against Hamas, ordering the evacuation of Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip to the Al-Mawasi area, considered humanitarian. Shelling has increased, causing casualties and destruction. US-backed Arab mediators begin new efforts for a truce, while Hamas is open to talks but insists on conditions including an end to the war and Israeli withdrawal. Israel, on the other hand, demands Hamas disarmament as a precondition for ending the conflict.
