Medical officials say at least 25 people were killed near US-backed aid site and the other 10 people were killed by strikes in Khan Younis

The US has condemned the decision by the UK, Canada, Norway, New Zealand and Australia to sanction two Israeli ministers over “egregious abuses” of human rights in Gaza, reports the PA news agency.

Donald Trump’s secretary of state Marco Rubio said that the travel ban and asset freeze imposed on Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich “do not advance US-led efforts to achieve a ceasefire” and called for the measures to be reversed.

The United States urges the reversal of the sanctions and stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel.

We will strive to achieve an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate release of the remaining hostages by Hamas which can have no future role in the governance of Gaza, a surge in aid and a path to a two-state solution.
