Hamas is still reviewing the U.S. plan to end the war in Gaza that was presented by President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. But the war continues, and Israel blocked a flotilla of ships trying to break through its blockade of Gaza.
Thousands of people supporting the Gaza-bound aid flotilla took to the streets in several major cities in Europe on Thursday after news of the interception broke.
Israel has ordered all residents of Gaza City to leave to make way for an expanded ground operation. Anyone who does not leave will be treated as a Hamas member or sympathizer.

Israel has launched a new ground offensive into Gaza City designed to dismantle Hamas infrastructure and warned residents to leave and head south.
