Qatar is engaging with the incoming Trump administration on Gaza after sensing a new momentum with the administration on ceasefire talks, Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said on Saturday.

Al Thani said during the Doha Forum that his country has seen encouragement from the Trump administration to reach a ceasefire in Gaza before Trump’s inauguration in January.

The latest humanitarian situation report on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank paints a brutal picture of increasing Israeli settler violence, forced displacement of local Palestinian communities, and ongoing killings by Israeli forces.

In the week between November 26 and December 2, Israeli forces killed five Palestinians and wounded 27 others — including seven children — across the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports.

During the latest reporting period, 14 people, including eight children, in three Palestinian Bedouin households were forcibly displaced by Israeli settler violence, OCHA said.

The death toll in the Israeli air strike targeting a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp has risen to 20, Arab media reported.

The Wafa news agency reported that the death toll has now reached 20 including six children and five women.

The report added that Israeli warplanes had targeted the house that had been evacuated before the attack. Several people in neighbouring homes were wounded by the strike.

At the same time, a young girl was killed when Israeli artillery shelled tents housing displaced families near the western part of Nuseirat.

At least five people, including children, were killed during an Israeli air strike on a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Arab media reported.

The Wafa news agency reported that Israeli warplanes targeted a house that had been evacuated before the attack. The strike resulted in the deaths of five people and left several others wounded in neighbouring homes.

Three of those who lost their lives were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah.

Since the war began in October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed at least 44,612 Palestinians and wounded 105,834 others.
