Israeli strikes reportedly kill dozens as Trump pushes for a Gaza ceasefire with Israel's visiting leader — which can't come soon enough for Palestinians, and many Israelis.

As talks for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip resume, Palestinians in the battered enclave say they are desperate for deal to end the war between Israel and Hamas.

In a conversation with SBS Hebrew, Professor David Menashir emphasizes the urgent need for an immediate end to the Gaza conflict, highlighting the suffering on both sides and the critical importance of compromise over entrenched positions.

US President Donald Trump has voiced confidence that a ceasefire deal in Gaza could be agreed this week after Hamas announced that it had “submitted a positive response” to a proposal for a 60-day truce with Israel.

Israeli airstrikes killed 14 people in the Gaza Strip, while another 10 Palestinians were killed separately as they sought food in the embattled enclave, hospital officials said.

The U.S. president told reporters Friday on Air Force One that it was "good" that Hamas was ready to enter talks.
