President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House next Monday.

Palestinians reported one of the worst nights of Israeli bombardment in weeks, while Israeli officials were due in Washington for a new ceasefire push.

President Trump says he hopes to see a Gaza ceasefire in days, as Israeli forces are accused of killing dozens of people in intensified operations.

Israel persists in its war efforts in Gaza amid a 12-day conflict with Iran, following an 11-week aid blockade. The Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) reports that over an estimated 600 men, women, and children waiting for food at their aid distribution sites have been killed, according to the Gaza Strip's Ministry of Health.

Russian state media claims any future war between Israel and Iran could be the 'final one', following Tehran's claim of possessing 'new generation missiles' to which the Jewish state has no defense. A source who wanted to remain nameless confirmed to RT (previously known as Russia Today) that Iran believes it has found vulnerabilities in Benjamin Netanyahu's 'Iron Dome' defense system based on their latest 12-day skirmish.
