Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his government is considering “alternative options” to ceasefire talks with Hamas.

President Trump’s special envoy said that “we will now consider alternative options to bring the hostages home,” though it was not clear that negotiations had halted.

A leading Israeli human rights group has accused Israel of “committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza,” becoming the first such organization to make the claim.

The Israeli military announced on Sunday a daily pause of its operations in parts of Gaza and the establishment of new aid corridors, after months of international pressure over a worsening hunger crisis spreading in the Palestinian enclave.

Israel is pausing their attacks on heavily-populated areas of the Gaza Strip to deliver aid after criticism from humanitarian groups.
