DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The European Commission president said Wednesday she would seek sanctions and a partial trade suspension against Israel over the war in the Gaza Strip . The move adds to Israel's already unprecedented global isolation as it grapples with the fallout from its strike targeting Hamas leaders in U.S.-allied Qatar.
Israel reiterated its calls for some 1 million people to evacuate Gaza City , where it has been bombing high-rises and ramping up a new offensive aimed at taking over the largest Palestinian city, already devastated from earlier raids and experiencing famine.
