White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were on hand to take part in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, which aim to end the war in Gaza.

A group of Scottish activists have been released after being detained by Israel as part of a flotilla of aid to Gaza. Margaret Pacetta, 71, returned to Glasgow on Monday, while Yvonne Ridley, 67, Jim Hickey, 52, and Sid Khan, 48, are now in Jordan.

Israeli bombing has damaged or destroyed an estimated 80% of Gaza’s structures since the war started two years ago.

SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) -Hamas said on Tuesday it wants to reach a deal to end the war in Gaza based on U.S. President Trump's plan but still has a set of demands, a statement signalling that indirect talks with Israel in Egypt could be difficult and lengthy.

At least 450 activists were aboard the flotilla, a coalition of several vessels seeking to deliver humanitarian aid to the blockaded Palestinian territory. Israeli forces detained them last week, and by Monday had deported Thunberg and 170 others to countries including Greece and Slovakia.

An ABC News analysis of dozens of satellite images from the last two years shows the massive destruction across nearly every area of Gaza.

Israel has repeatedly denied permission to transfer incubators from an evacuated hospital in North Gaza, a U.N. children's agency official said on Tuesday, adding to strain on overcrowded hospitals further south where newborn babies are now sharing oxygen masks.

Two years since the war in Gaza began, thousands of Palestinians there are looking for relatives who have gone missing in one of the most destructive conflicts of the past decades.
