Israel Kills 25 Palestinians Seeking Aid Amid Gaza Evacuation Plans

At least 25 Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza were killed by Israeli gunfire, according to health officials and witnesses, amid escalating military operations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will allow Palestinians to leave combat zones and even Gaza during an upcoming offensive, describing this as "voluntary migration" aligned with President Donald Trump's vision, though critics warn this could amount to ethnic cleansing. Netanyahu emphasized that Palestinians are not being pushed out but given the opportunity to evacuate, particularly from densely populated areas like Gaza City. Efforts to revive ceasefire talks continue, with Hamas and Egyptian officials meeting in Cairo, but Israel currently has no plans to send its negotiating team. Israel's plans to expand its military offensive into parts of Gaza not yet under control have drawn condemnation domestically and internationally, with concerns over the safety of hostages held by Hamas. Additionally, Israel is reportedly in talks about relocating Palestinians to countries such as South Sudan, although official discussions on this matter remain limited.
