"International Pressure Mounts for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Live Updates"

Pressure is mounting on Israel to pause its fighting with Hamas and allow more aid to enter the Gaza Strip, as the humanitarian situation worsens. The United Nations, aid groups, and key allies, including France's President Macron, are urging Israel to temporarily halt the fighting to allow supplies to enter, foreigners to leave, and hostages to be released. Israel has agreed to short daily pauses to allow Gazans to flee, but has rejected calls for a cease-fire. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters in Tel Aviv are demanding that the Israeli government prioritize rescuing the hostages held in Gaza. Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has stated that his fighters will continue to pressure Israel, claiming that they are striking deeper into Israeli territory with powerful new weapons. Gaza's main hospital, Al-Shifa, is on the brink of collapse as Israeli forces surround it and a power outage causes deaths of patients.
