Middle East Conflict

At least 91 people have been reported killed in Gaza as Israel intensifies its assault on Gaza City. Hospital sources indicate that the ongoing conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties, including children, and widespread destruction of infrastructure. Over 300,000 people have fled the area, while up to 700,000 remain, many unable to leave due to financial constraints.

International reactions continue, with several countries, including the UK, France, Canada, and Australia, formally recognizing a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated that Israel's military operation will continue until Hamas is defeated. Meanwhile, discussions of a potential ceasefire have emerged, though no agreement has been reached.

The United States is revoking a visitor's visa granted to Colombia's President Gustavo Petro. The move comes after Petro appeared in New York at a pro-Palestinian rally where he encouraged protests. CBS's Haley Yad at our London bureau is tracking the latest developments in the Middle East. Good evening. Hospital sources say at least 91 people have been killed in Gaza today as Israel's assault on Gaza City intensifies. More destruction in Gaza City, where every day is deadly. Over 300,000 people have fled Israel's assault here, but up to 700,000 remain, many who can't afford to leave. Around them, buildings turned to rubble, including this one, sheltering displaced people. Among those killed, a nine-year-old girl. What did this girl do? Nine years old, she should be in school pursuing her dream. School pursuing her dreams, this young man says. They ruined all this. There's no life here anymore. Enough, we're tired. Where is the world? In New York this week, defiance from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His message, Israel's mission inside Gaza isn't done. The final remnants of Hamas are holed up in Gaza City. They vow to repeat the atrocities of October 7th again and again and again, no matter how diminished their forces. That is why Israel must finish the job. Himself accused of war crimes, his country of genocide. Netanyahu spoke to a half-empty room after dozens of delegates walked out over Israel's war in Gaza, which has killed over 65,000 people, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. And prominent US allies like the UK, France, Canada, and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state, joining over 150 other nations. It will be a mark of shame on all of you. President Trump expressed optimism this week about being close to a potential ceasefire in Gaza, Jericho, saying Friday it was, quote, looking like we have a deal. But we've heard rumblings of ceasefires being close before, and close is different from agreed. Sure is. Hayley Ott, thank you.
