Welcome to our live updates on the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza for Monday, December 11.
On Sunday, the executive board of the World Health Organization (WHO) passed a resolution urging immediate, humanitarian access to Gaza.
The resolution, brought forward by Afghanistan, Qatar, Yemen and Morocco, seeks the entry of medical personnel and supplies into the territory.
It also requires the WHO to keep track of violence against medical workers and patients. Moreover, the resolution aims to get financing for the reconstruction of hospitals.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on members of the militant Islamist group Hamas in Gaza to surrender.
Netanyahu said dozens of “Hamas members have surrendered to our forces in the past few days.”
Israel also rejected as “outrageous and false” an allegation by Jordan that Israel was implementing a systematic policy of pushing Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip into Egypt.
Jordan’s foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, also told a forum in Qatar that Israel has “created hatred that would haunt the region and define generations to come.”
