Evening recap
Our live blog is now closed until tomorrow morning.
Here are the day's key developments:
- Israel has been carrying out heavy bombing in northern Gaza on Monday, where very few journalists remain to transmit events in real-time. Residents of Gaza City in particular have been clamoring to make it out of their apartments before Israel demolishes the buildings.
- The joint communiqué released by the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha on Monday has called for a review of diplomatic and economic relations with Israel, following its unprecedented air strikes on Qatar last week targeting the Hamas political bureau.
- Arab Gulf leaders also said that the Gulf Cooperation Council joint defence body will meet in Doha to decide on next steps.
- Axios, citing unnamed Israeli officials, reported that Tel Aviv warned Washington about the Qatar strike before its jets were on their way to the target. The White House denied that claim to Axios, saying the Pentagon only learned of the attack while it was in progress.
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to travel to Qatar after his visit to Israel, a senior State Department official said.
- Three more deaths have been reported in Gaza as a result of starvation and malnutrition between Sunday and Monday, the Palestinian health ministry said.
- Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar responded to the Spanish prime minister's call to ban Israel from sporting events by calling him "an antisemite and a liar" on X.
