On 23 December, Al Jazeera reported that Israel was still bombing Gaza, with the most recent attacks in Khan Younis and the Nuseirat refugee camp.

On 23 December, BBC reported that Israel claimed to have detained 200 members of Islamic Jihad and Hamas in the last week and taken them to Israel for questioning. According to a statement, a few of the suspects willingly turned themselves in after hiding among the general public. As per Israeli claims, since the beginning of its military campaign and invasion into Gaza to overthrow Hamas, 700 Palestinian militants have been taken into custody.
REGIONAL RESPONSES
On 23 December, Arab News reported that Pierre Rai, the priest of the Christian village Qalaya in Lebanon, urged the Parish to keep the Christmas spirit alive. He further stated: “So long as we have decided to remain in this village, and in other southern Lebanon border villages, we must live and enjoy each thing in its right time.”
On 23 December, Ebrahim Raisi, the President of Iran, and Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the President of Egypt, discussed the developments in Gaza as per Iranian state TV. The state TV stated that Raisi said Iran was “ready to provide all its capacities to stop the genocide by the Zionist regime and send aid to the Palestinians.” Additionally, according to the Jersusalem Post, El-Sisi spoke on the issue of removing the threat of Houthis in the Red Sea.
On 23 December, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, said that the inability of the UN Security Council (UNSC) to impose a permanent ceasefire in Gaza was equivalent to giving “Israel license to kill.” He said that there should be serious efforts taken to end the humanitarian catastrophe.
GLOBAL RESPONSES
On 22 December, the UNSC adopted a resolution to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, after the US abstained. The modified resolution that removed calls for a ceasefire, included a call for “urgent steps to immediately allow safe, unhindered, and expanded humanitarian access to create conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities.”

WAR ON THE GROUND
On 22 December, Al Jazeera reported that Hapag-Lloyd of Germany and OOCL of Hong Kong said on on 21 December that they were the latest shipping companies to steer clear of the waterways due to Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Israeli army reported on Thursday that it had stopped a missile assault launched by the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
REGIONAL RESPONSES
On 22 December, Najib Mikati, the Prime Minister of Lebanon, said that Lebanon was ready to implement UN Resolution 1701, to end the cross-border attacks by Hezbollah on Israel, provided Israel agrees to vacate the disputed territory. The UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1701 ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah and called for the removal of armed personnel south of the Litani River in Lebanon.

On 21 December, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates, met with Hussein al-Sheikh, the Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). Both discussed the provision of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and Al Nahyan called for negotiations on a two-state solution.
GLOBAL RESPONSES
On 22 December, according to Al Jazeera, the US agreed to support a watered-down UNSC resolution calling for more humanitarian aid into Gaza, after several votes were delayed by disagreement over text. The latest text of the resolution removed the notion of “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities,” which several countries have condemned.
On 22 December, the AP news agency cited an analysis of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite data, which stated that the destruction caused by Israel has led to the destruction of over two-thirds of all structures in northern Gaza and a quarter of buildings in the southern area of Khan Younis. Corey Scher, a mapping expert, said that Gaza is now a “different colour” and a different “texture” from space.

WAR ON THE GROUND
On 21 December, BBC reported that Hamas said that Palestinian groups have rejected the prospect of further hostage releases until Israel agreed to end the war in Gaza. The statement was released as talks in Cairo continued to reach a new truce in the war. Israel has repeatedly rejected a permanent ceasefire, with its national security minister saying ending the war before Hamas is defeated would constitute a "failure".
The UN Security Council is again due to a hold vote on "urgent humanitarian pauses" in Gaza after the previous vote was postponed on 20 December. Israeli forces claimed to have discovered a system of tunnels in the center of Gaza City, with openings leading to the homes of Hamas officials.

REGIONAL RESPONSES
On 21 December, Zedan Khalaf, an advisor to the Prime Minister of Iraq for humanitarian affairs, said that Iraq sent a fuel tanker to Gaza to support the humanitarian relief which was hampered due to fuel shortages. He also said that the country would send cargo in the future to aid the Palestinians.
On 20 December, Abdel-Malek al-Houthi, the leader of the Houthis of Yemen, said that the group wouldretaliate if the US targets them in the Red Sea.

Abdel-Malek al-Houthi also warned to not escalate the situation by waging war against Yemen.
GLOBAL RESPONSES
On 21 December, according to Al Jazeera, the UN called for an inquiry on the Israeli army accused of executing unarmed Palestinians in Gaza, which it called “a possible war crime”. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) asked the Israeli government to initiate a probe and “those responsible must be brought to justice and measures implemented to prevent any such serious violations from recurring”.
On 21 December, according to Reuters, Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, stated that Israel’s allies were concerned over the country’s long-term safety, commenting on the military campaign in Gaza. Trudeau stated that “the short term actions being taken by Israel are actually putting at risk the long-term safety (of) and even support for a Jewish state into the future”.
On 21 December, according to Reuters, Greece joined the US by sending a frigate to the Red Sea to protect shipping on the route. Nikos Dendias, the Defence Minister of Greece, stated that “the frigate will participate in the multinational operation ‘Prosperity Guardian’, for the protection of merchant ships, the lives of seafarers, (and) the global economy”.
On 22 December, Aljazeera reported that Canada has announced a temporary immigration visa for relatives of Canadian citizens and permanent residents affected by the Gaza war. However, it has cautioned that leaving the country would be a challenge and thus require Israel’s approval on that.
On 21 December, the UN stated that Gaza was facing “catastrophic conditions” which could cause mass starvation. Cindy McCain, an official of the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP), stated that “no one in Gaza is safe from starvation.” She further stated that “humanitarian access is needed now for supplies to flow into and throughout Gaza.”
On 21 December the Pentagon stated that more than 20 countries have joined in the effort to safeguard commercial shipping in the Red Sea from attacks by the Houthi rebels from Yemen. Some countries have refused to publicly declare their participation. Major General Patrick Ryder, the Press Secretary of the US Department of Defence, stated: “We’ll allow other countries, defer to them to talk about their participation.”

Along with Tariq Ahmed, the UK’s Minister of State for the Middle East, Cameron will travel to the region in an attempt to “secure the release of hostages, step up aid to Gaza and end Hamas rocket attacks and threats against Israel”.
On 19 December, Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, banned the Israeli shipping company ZIM and any other ships that have Israel’s flag from “loading cargo at Malaysian ports.” He said that this restriction was a “response” to Israel “disregarding basic humanitarian principles and violating international law” as it continued its “massacre and atrocities against Palestinians.”
On 19 December, the vote to increase aid deliveries into Gaza by the UN Security Council was delayed by a day, over talks to prevent a third US veto. An agreement over the language of the proposed resolution drafted by the UAE was in the works.

WAR ON THE GROUND
On 19 December, at least 20 Palestinians were killed when three houses in the Rafah neighbourhood of southern Gaza were hit by Israeli missiles and airstrikes, according to Gaza health officials . Despite worries that they wouldn't be safe there either, tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees crowded into Rafah on Gaza's border with Egypt in an attempt to flee Israeli bombardment farther north.
On 18 December, a World Health Organization (WHO) official stated that the hospital in north Gaza that was raided by Israeli troops was no longer in operation. He added that patients, including infants, had been evacuated, endangering the already precarious health services in the enclave.

Israel claimed that Hamas fighters had been using the hospital.
REGIONAL RESPONSES

REGIONAL RESPONSES

On 17 December, Arab News reported that a source claimed that Israel's chief negotiator met with Qatar's Prime Minister, giving the impression that fresh talks to free the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza were underway. This was confirmed by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, on 16 December.
On 17 December, according to the IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, the accidental shooting of three Israeli hostages who were held by Hamas was unacceptable. The three waved a white flag and shouted out "help" and “SOS” in Hebrew but were misidentified as a threat and killed. Herzi stated while addressing the incident stated: "We have set three goals: to dismantle Hamas, to restore security to the residents of the Gaza border area, and the third mission is to recover the hostages."

On 17 December, according to the BBC, David Cameron, the Foreign Secretary of the UK, expressed his support for a “sustainable ceasefire” in the war in Gaza and condemned the increasing civilian killings in the region. Cameron stated that the ceasefire must bring “peace lasting for days, years, generations” and expressed his support for a “sustainable” ceasefire.
On 17 December, according to Arab News, top military officials from the US went to Israel to discuss a transition in the war in Gaza from major combat against Hamas to a more limited approach, stating that potential regional wars should be avoided. This came at a time when there was an increase in attacks by Iranian-backed militants against ships in the Red Sea. The latter stated that the attacks would continue as long as Israeli “aggression” in Gaza was ongoing.
On 16 December, France condemned an Israeli attack on a residential building in Rafah, which killed a French staff member in the region. The French Foreign Ministry demanded that “all light be shed by the Israeli authorities on the circumstances of this bombing,” as Israel bombed a region which was previously declared a safe zone. France further called for an “immediate and durable” truce in the war in Gaza.
