Gaza: As U.S. President Donald Trump lands in Saudi Arabia to engage in crucial diplomatic discussions, the intensity of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza continues to escalate. This includes heavy bombardment in the eastern part of Gaza City and several other densely populated areas.
In the past hour, airstrikes have targeted the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps, causing widespread destruction and leaving many civilians in peril. However, the most significant strike was on the Nasser Medical Complex, which resulted in the tragic death of journalist Hassan Eslaih, a well-known Palestinian journalist who was covering the crisis in Gaza.
The Gaza Health Ministry has strongly condemned the attack, describing it as a "heinous crime." Eslaih's death adds to the rising toll on journalists in Gaza, where at least 215 media professionals have been killed since the conflict began. These attacks are often justified by Israeli forces under the claim of targeting those affiliated with armed groups, despite the widespread recognition that many of those killed, including journalists, were civilians.
As the situation worsens, global attention remains focused on the political implications of Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia, with many watching closely for any diplomatic shifts that could impact the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The escalation in Gaza, coupled with the visit of a former U.S. leader to the region, highlights the complex web of international relations and the high stakes for peace in the Middle East.
