Netanyahu Snubs Trump’s Ceasefire Plea With Massive Gaza Bombardment

Israel amped up its bombing campaign against Gaza just hours after President Donald Trump urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire agreement.

The latest bombardment against the occupied Palestinian territory represents one of the worst nights of strikes in several weeks, and was followed Monday morning by new evacuation orders from the Israeli military for a number of areas in the north of the strip, raising the spectre of further ground assaults.

Only on Saturday, Trump had posted to his Truth Social platform calling on the Israelis to “MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA” and “GET THE HOSTAGES BACK” after more than 20 months of near-constant conflict in the territory, one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
