CAIRO (AP) — Local hospitals report at least 31 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. This comes amid discussions about U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan aimed at ending the nearly two-year war in Gaza. Hamas plans to review the proposal, which includes disarmament and international control over Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports the plan, but many Palestinians are skeptical, viewing it as favoring Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes continued Tuesday, with local hospitals reporting casualties. The conflict has led to a humanitarian crisis, with Gaza’s Health Ministry reporting over 66,000 deaths since the war began.
