Closing summary
Hospitals in Gaza said Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 30 people so far today, including six children at a water collection point.
More than 58,000 Palestinian people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since 7 October 2023, the Gaza health ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
Israel and Hamas appeared no closer to a breakthrough in talks meant to pause Israel’s 21-month-old assault on Gaza.
In the West Bank, funerals were held for a Palestinian-American and a Palestinian friend of his who were reportedly killed by Israeli settlers last week.
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said his country would be willing to re-engage in nuclear talks with the US if there were assurances of no more attacks against it.
Araghchi also said that Iran’s cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), “has not stopped, but will take on a new form”, after Tehran formally ended cooperation with the global nuclear watchdog in early July.
