'Majority' of the 200 hostages kidnapped from Israel and held captive by Hamas in Gaza 'are alive', insist Israeli army The majority of some 200 people Israel's military has reported that the death toll from the Gaza conflict has risen to 4,137, according to the IDF. The news comes as anti-Israel protests erupt across the world following Hamas leaders' demands that thousands of demonstrators target Israeli and US embassies in preparation for an imminent ground invasion of Gaza. Demonstrations were held across the globe after Friday prayers in Muslim communities, including in Bangladesh, South Korea, and Iraq, condemning Israel's attacks on Gaza and supporting the two million Palestinians trapped in the enclave. Israel's military air strike targeted three Hezbollah terrorists near the Lebanese border and Israeli snipers opened fire on gunmen operating in the area of the border with Lebanon. Meanwhile, barriers blocking the border crossing between Gaza and Egypt have been removed, with another plane carrying fresh humanitarian aid arriving in Egypt just 20 minutes from the border. The Kremlin has criticised Russian President Vladimir Putin's comparison of U.S. President Joe Biden to Hamas as 'unacceptable' and warned that the threat to Russian citizens would increase once Israel begins its expected ground operation to oust Hamas from Gaza. The World Health Organization Director-General of the Gaza war has urged Israel to provide immediate, unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access to Gaza.

Biden comment comparing Putin to Hamas is blasted as ‘unacceptable’ by Kremlin – as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine The Kremlin said on Friday that remarks by U.S. President Joe Biden comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Palestinian militant group Hamas were ‘unacceptable’. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters the current time was a potentially dangerous moment on the international agenda, and that the threat to Russian citizens would grow exponentially once Israel started its expected ground operation to try to oust Hamas from Gaza. Peskov declined to say who would represent Russia at a peace summit for the Palestinian conflict in Cairo on Saturday, referring the query to the foreign ministry.

But instead, the hospital room was silent as the doctor carefully placed the unborn baby, no bigger than his palms, onto her mother’s unmoving body.
