Netanyahu signals openness to Trump's Gaza ceasefire plan: Sources

The remaining hospitals still operating in the war-torn Gaza Strip "are only a few days away from…shutdown due to fuel shortages," Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health warned on Tuesday.

"A few days could bring scenes of vital departments shutting down, exacerbating the health crisis and exposing the lives of patients and the wounded to certain death," the health ministry said.

"Technical and engineering procedures for scheduling operating periods have become ineffective with the cessation of fuel supplies," it added.

The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday named a soldier killed in fighting in the northern Gaza Strip as Maj. Shahar Netanel Bozaglo, 27.

Bozaglo "fell in battle," the IDF said. The major was a company commander in the 7th Armored Brigade.

Bozaglo is the first soldier to be killed in the IDF’s new offensive against Hamas in Gaza City, launched last week.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas spoke before the United Nations General Assembly via video on Monday, after the Trump administration revoked his U.S. visa last month to attend the conference in person in New York City.

He began his remarks by thanking France and Saudi Arabia for hosting the statehood conference before launching into his prepared remarks in Arabic.

Abbas called on Hamas to surrender their weapons, expressed readiness to work with President Donald Trump to implement a peace plan and condemned the killings on Oct. 7, 2023. At one point, he spoke directly to the people of Israel, urging for peace and wishing them a happy Rosh Hashanah.

"We call for a permanent ceasefire. We need to ensure humanitarian access through the United Nations and UNRWA. We need to guarantee the release of hostages, all hostages and prisoners with the withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza," Abbas said.

The camera would often pan to where the U.S. and Israel delegations would normally be sitting. The seats were empty for the entirety of the conference -- beginning with French President Emmanuel Macron's speech, during which he recognized Palestinian statehood -- in protest of Monday's planned action.

French President Emmanuel Macron officially called for Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly opening session Monday afternoon, joining several other countries this week in calling for statehood, despite condemnations from the United States and the Israeli government.

"The time has come. This is why true to the historic, historic commitment of my country to the Middle East, to peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. This is why I declare that today France recognizes the state of Palestine," Macron said in the Assembly Hall of the U.N. headquarters.

Several delegates from Palestine -- and many others in the room -- jumped to their feet and applauded Macron for an extended time.

"We've gathered here because the time has come," Macron said. "The time has come to free the 48 hostages detained by Hamas. The time has come to stop war, the bombing in Gaza, the massacres and the fleeing people. The time has come because there's a pressing urgency everywhere. The time for peace has come because we're just a few moments away from no longer being able to seize peace. This is why we have gathered here today. Some might say it's too late. Others might say it's too early. But one thing is certain: We can no longer wait."

His proclamation came a day after the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal also released statements declaring their support for a Palestinian state.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas -- who joined the meeting virtually because the U.S. did not grant him a visa -- was seen applauding throughout the speech.
