- US officials have met with Israel on its planned invasion of Rafah, the last city in the Gaza Strip yet untouched by an Israeli army ground offensive.
- The US again exercised its veto power in the UN Security Council to block Palestine’s widely supported bid for full UN membership, a move the Palestinian presidency says is “unfair, unethical and unjustifiable”.
- At least nine people have been killed in Israeli jet fighter attacks on Gaza’s Shati refugee camp, the Sheikh Radwan area north of Gaza City, and Nuseirat in the central area of the Palestinian territory, Wafa news agency reports.
- Iran says air defence systems were activated amid reports of explosions near an airport in the central city of Isfahan, as US media quoted officials saying that Israel carried out an attack.
- At least 33,970 people have been killed and 76,770 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139 with dozens of captives held in Gaza.
