It told residents to move to the so-called \u201chumanitarian area\u201d in al-Mawasi, a barren stretch of coast in southern Gaza.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3886\" data-end=\"4173\">But al-Mawasi itself has been repeatedly bombed, despite Israel insisting it is a safe zone. At the start of the year, about 115,000 people lived there. Today, aid agencies estimate that more than 800,000 \u2013 nearly a third of Gaza\u2019s population \u2013 are crammed into overcrowded makeshift camps.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4217\" data-end=\"4333\">Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanches echoed the UN\u2019s condemnation of Israel and announced new measures against the country.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4335\" data-end=\"4762\">He said Spain would block ships and aircraft carrying weapons to Israel from using its ports or airspace, expand humanitarian aid to Palestinians, and ban imports of goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4335\" data-end=\"4762\">\u201cWe hope that they will serve to add pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government to alleviate some of the suffering that the Palestinian population is enduring,\u201d S\u00e1nchez said in a televised address.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4764\" data-end=\"4870\">He added that anyone directly involved in what he said was a \u201cgenocide\u201d would be banned from entering Spain.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hamas-open-to-ceasefire-as-violence-spreads-to-west-bank\">Hamas open to ceasefire as violence spreads to West Bank<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4910\" data-end=\"5082\">Meanwhile, Hamas said it was ready to \u201cimmediately sit at the negotiating table\u201d after receiving proposals from the United States for a ceasefire and release of captives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5084\" data-end=\"5356\">US President Donald Trump declared he had issued his \u201clast warning\u201d to Hamas to accept a deal. Axios, citing an unnamed source, reported that the US plan includes a staged Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, \u201csubject to the new government in Gaza\u2019s ability to impose security\u2019.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5358\" data-end=\"5480\">Hamas dismissed this as a trap, saying that the condition effectively grants Israel veto power over how and when the withdrawal happens.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5533\" data-end=\"5784\">The war also spilled into the occupied West Bank on Monday, after Palestinian gunmen killed six people and wounded dozens more near an illegal settlement. The attackers were shot dead by an Israeli soldier and a civilian.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5786\" data-end=\"5987\">In response, Israeli forces sealed off checkpoints between occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, while troops raided nearby Palestinian villages, including Qatana, Biddu, Beit Inan and Beit Duqu.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5989\" data-end=\"6349\">Al Jazeera\u2019s Hamdah Salhut, reporting from Amman, Jordan, said such raids were part of Israel\u2019s \u201ccollective punishment\u201d policy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5989\" data-end=\"6349\">\u201cIt is the collective punishment that takes place every time. The villages are raided, the roads are blocked, the checkpoints are completely shut down, family members are arrested and, ultimately, the family home is demolished,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6351\" data-end=\"6619\">In Jenin, two 14-year-old boys \u2013 Mohammad Sari Omar Masqala and Islam Abdel Aziz Noah Majarmah \u2013 were confirmed killed during the Israeli raids. Wissam Bakr, the director of Jenin Government Hospital, said that Masqala died from his wounds hours after the Jerusalem attack.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6621\" data-end=\"6969\">Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti said that Israel uses such attacks as pretexts for escalation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6621\" data-end=\"6969\">\u201cAttacks on Palestinian cities and towns in the occupied West Bank are a pattern that exists without any attacks,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just that they [Israel] use such a moment to justify and escalate collective punishment acts against Palestinians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6971\" data-end=\"7126\">He warned that Israel\u2019s \u201cultimate goal\u201d remains unchanged: \u201cthe annexation of the West Bank and the displacement and ethnic cleansing of its population.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened Palestinians in Gaza City to \u201cleave now\u201d, as the United Nations human rights chief condemned Israel for what he described as the \u201cmass killing\u201d of civilians and deliberate obstruction of lifesaving aid.
