Good evening, Middle East Eye readers,

Day 31 of Israel’s war on Gaza is drawing to a close, with the death toll continuing to surpass the milestone of 10,000 dead set on Monday.

One month after the attack by Hamas in southern Israel that left 1,400 dead and saw hundreds taken hostage, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again refused calls for a ceasefire before all those taken prisoner in Gaza are released.

He said Israeli forces were in the heart of Gaza City and fighting on the ground has been ongoing.

Other updates that took place during the evening:

  • Police in London have rejected calls to ban a pro-Palestinian demonstration over it coinciding with World War One commemorations

  • Health ministry reports new “massacre” in Shujaiya neighbourhood of Gaza

  • Israelis have held a minute's silence across the country to mark one month since the 7 October attacks

  • Israel’s foreign minister has said ‘we don't want to govern Gaza' as post-Hamas future discussed
