Brazil's president has reiterated his allegations that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, sparking further controversy with his harsh rhetoric. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has intensified, with Israel vehemently denying genocide claims and stating that its military actions are directed at the militant group Hamas, not the Palestinian population at large.
The Health Ministry in Gaza reported a significant increase in casualties, with 92 Palestinians killed in Israeli bombardments over the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 29,606 in nearly five months of conflict. The ministry noted that a large number of those killed were children and women, while Israel maintains that it has targeted Hamas fighters.
