The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has passed 60,000. The world’s leading authority on food crises says the “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out” in the territory of over 2 million people.

Israel could also go back to the negotiating table and try to do a deal that would end the war entirely. But that might mean pulling back on some of its core demands that Hamas completely surrender its arms. It would be short of the “total victory” Netanyahu has promised.

Two Israeli rights groups said Israel was carrying out "coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza strip."
