Aid workers killed in Gaza: Army fires officers. Israel has decided to take “immediate steps” to increase humanitarian aid to the civilian population.
The USA welcomed the announcement - and at the same time is pushing for an agreement to release the hostages in Gaza. Meanwhile, threats from Iran against Israel are fueling concerns about an escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The US has called on Israel to take a series of "specific, concrete and measurable steps" to reduce the suffering for the people of Gaza.
