Pro-Palestinian demonstrators in London have blocked the entrance to the Foreign Office, protesting against the UK government’s inaction towards Israel’s offensive in Gaza. As many as 300 protesters demanded a halt to arms exports to Israel.

In Gaza, over 39,000 Palestinians have been killed, with 55 more deaths reported in the past 24 hours. Israeli forces continue their ground invasion in Khan Younis, where medical facilities are overwhelmed.

Elon Musk has activated Starlink internet service in a Gaza hospital with the help of the UAE and Israel, providing much-needed connectivity in the war-torn region.

Meanwhile, the German government has banned an organization accused of supporting Hezbollah and spreading extremist ideology.
