GAZA (Xinhua) -- The death toll from the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has surpassed 73,000 since Oct. 7, 2023, medical sources at the Gaza-based health authorities said.

The sources told Xinhua on Sunday that the overall death toll has continued to rise amid ongoing Israeli military operations across different areas of the Gaza Strip.

In a separate Xinhua report the same day, Palestinian Minister of Social Development Samah Hamad warned that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip was worsening.

Hamad told Voice of Palestine radio that many of the 164 World Food Programme-backed bread distribution points in the strip, which sell affordable flour, have shut down amid shortages and limited supplies.

Humanitarian kitchens that once served 670,000 meals daily through 80 kitchens supported by 23 humanitarian organizations have sharply cut output, with only a few still running, she added.

Because of the dire situation, 3 percent of children under the age of nine, mostly boys, have been forced into arduous labor to provide food for their families, Hamad said.

According to Xinhua, the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel is facing setbacks in implementing key provisions, including disarmament and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire agreement has been in effect since October 2025. Its first phase included an exchange of prisoners and detainees, the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from some areas.

JERUSALEM (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel will “soon” take control of 70 percent of the Gaza Strip, despite the terms of an ongoing fragile ceasefire.

We currently hold more than 60 percent of the enclave; soon we will reach 70 percent, Netanyahu said during his weekly cabinet meeting.

He said Israel was still fighting Hamas and “eliminating” the group's senior commanders.

In Lebanon, Netanyahu said Israel was “eliminating villages of terror” near the Israeli border. He said Israeli forces had killed about 350 people in Lebanon over the past week, claiming they were all militants.

A ceasefire agreement that took effect in October 2025 allows Israel to keep forces behind the so-called “yellow line” demarcation, which includes about half of the war-devastated enclave.

Israel has continued to carry out daily attacks across Gaza. Earlier on Saturday, Gaza-based health authorities said that 951 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire took effect.

PARIS (Xinhua) -- French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Friday that he has referred allegations of violence against French nationals who were part of a Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla to the French public prosecutor.

Barrot told France Inter radio that he took action after receiving a report from France's consul general in Türkiye, which detailed “sexual violence, exposure to cold, beatings, and repeated humiliation” against French citizens after Israel intercepted the flotilla.

On May 23, Barrot announced that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir had been banned from entering France effective immediately, noting that the decision followed Ben-Gvir's “unacceptable” actions toward French and European citizens aboard the Gaza-bound flotilla.

Activists brought to Ashdod

Hundreds of members from a Gaza-bound aid flotilla were brought to Israel's Ashdod Port on May 20, as Ben-Gvir released a video showing some of them shackled and forced to the ground.

In the video, released by Ben-Gvir on his social media channels, dozens of activists are shown kneeling on the floor, bent forward with their heads down and hands bound behind their backs with zip ties, as the Israeli national anthem is played loudly over speakers.

Israel's foreign ministry said in a statement on May 21 that all the activists had been deported, adding that the country would not permit any breach of what it described as “the lawful naval blockade on Gaza”.

ROME (Xinhua). Italy has asked the European Union to sanction Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir after he posted a social media video mocking detained activists from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Thursday on social media platform X that he had formally requested the EU to put sanctions against Ben-Gvir on the agenda of the next meeting of EU foreign ministers.

In a post, he described Ben-Gvir's actions as "unacceptable", accusing Israel of "seizing the activists in international waters and subjecting them to harassment and humiliation, in violation of the most basic human rights".

The flotilla set sail from Türkiye's Marmaris coast last Thursday in a third attempt to break Israel's blockade of Gaza and deliver aid to Palestinians in the war-devastated enclave. Hundreds of flotilla members were brought to Israel's Ashdod Port on Wednesday after Ben-Gvir released a video showing some of them shackled and forced to kneel.

In the video, dozens of activists are seen kneeling on the floor with their heads bowed and hands bound behind their backs with zip ties while the Israeli national anthem blared over loudspeakers.

Italy to summon Israeli ambassador

The Israeli ministry said the country would not allow any breach of what it called the "lawful" naval blockade of Gaza, describing the flotilla as "a PR stunt in the service of Hamas".

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Tajani on Wednesday issued a joint statement condemning the treatment of the detained activists. They said Italy's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation would summon the Israeli ambassador to Italy to seek formal clarification over the incident.

The incident has drawn criticism from a group of European countries, many of whose citizens were among the detained activists. Governments condemned the humiliation of detainees as unacceptable and inhumane, and demanded explanations, apologies and the release of their nationals.
