Evening recap

Our live blog is now closed until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

- US envoy Steve Witkoff has told Fox News that President Donald Trump is set to chair a White House meeting on Gaza on Wednesday. This comes as the Israeli foreign minister is set to visit Washington that same day. 

- Israel is “unwilling to reach an agreement”, having yet to respond to the ceasefire proposal accepted by Hamas earlier this month, Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday.

- The Gaza Media Office, which serves as the enclave's information ministry, said that the Israeli army's claim that "Hamas targets" hid at Nasser Hospital and necessitated its bombing is "a pathetic attempt at deception". 

- The Israeli military will remain on Syrian territory near Mount Hermon, Defence Minister Israel Katz announced, leading to a wave of condemnations from Arab states. Israel also killed six Syrian soldiers via drone strikes near Damascus on Tuesday. 

- Lebanon will present its plan to persuade Hezbollah to disarm on Sunday, US envoy Thomas Barrack announced.

- Former US ambassador to Israel Jacob Lew told The New Yorker in a stunning interview that the children of members of Hamas in Gaza make for legitimate Israeli targets.
