Former U.S. President Donald Trump is set to chair a major meeting in Washington on Wednesday to discuss post-war plans for Gaza, even as the ongoing conflict shows no signs of ending. The meeting comes amid heightened outrage over Israeli strikes on a southern Gaza hospital that killed 20 people, including journalists and emergency responders.

The Israeli military has promised to investigate the hospital attack but has yet to provide an explanation for why the facility was hit twice or offer evidence supporting claims that six of the victims were militants.

U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Trump will lead the session, which aims to present a comprehensive plan for Gaza’s future, although specific details remain undisclosed. This diplomatic effort coincides with warnings from aid organizations that an expanded Israeli offensive could deepen the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, where most residents are displaced, infrastructure lies in ruins, and parts of the enclave face famine.

The talks follow Hamas’ announcement nine days ago that it accepted a ceasefire proposal mediated by Arab nations, after Israel signaled its intent to seize Gaza’s largest city. The proposed deal reportedly includes a 60-day truce, the exchange of some hostages for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, a surge in humanitarian aid, and a roadmap toward lasting peace. However, many within Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition oppose such phased agreements, while Israel continues mobilizing tens of thousands of reservists for an expanded military campaign.

On Wednesday, hospitals in Gaza reported at least 10 more deaths from Israeli strikes, including casualties near an aid distribution site in central Gaza and at a displacement camp in the south. In Khan Younis, an airstrike killed three people—including a woman and a child—and wounded 21 others, according to the Kuwait Specialized Field Hospital. Additional strikes claimed at least six more lives in the same area, Nasser Hospital confirmed.

The Israeli military has not commented on these recent strikes. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israel’s offensive has killed over 62,819 Palestinians, nearly half of them women and children. While Israel disputes these figures, it has not provided alternative numbers.

The war erupted after Hamas-led militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 others during their October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Although most hostages have since been freed through ceasefire deals, around 50 remain in Gaza, with roughly 20 believed to be alive.

Meanwhile, protests have grown inside Israel, with families of hostages demanding an immediate ceasefire. The government, however, insists that a broader military campaign is necessary to eliminate Hamas and prevent future attacks.
