Some 114 Palestinians were killed and 249 injured in the past 24 hours, the ministry added.

Kanaani also said the continuation of US strikes on Syria and Iraq as well as the war in Gaza will only intensify a cycle of instability in the region.

Britain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Finland on Saturday joined the United States, Australia and Canada in pausing funding to the aid agency, a critical source of support for people in Gaza, after the allegations by Israel that some of its staff were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.

The ICJ on Friday said Israel must prevent genocidal acts in its war with Hamas and allow aid into Gaza, but stopped short of calling for an end to the fighting.

The International Court of Justice said Israel must facilitate "urgently needed" humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory, which has been under relentless bombardment and siege since the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.

On the ground in the seaside enclave, Gaza officials said on Thursday that Israeli strikes killed 20 Palestinians queuing for food aid in Gaza City, six people in a house in central Gaza's Al-Nusseirat refugee camp and at least 50 people in the prior 24 hours in Gaza's main southern city Khan Younis, where Israel is currently focusing the brunt of its might.

The failure to ensure that Israel acts in compliance with international law amid the stalled process toward realizing a two-state solution could further plunge the Middle East into a wider open conflict, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi has warned.

The Houthi attacks since November, which the group says target vessels linked to Israel and are in support of Gaza, have disrupted shipping in the vital route which normally carries around 12 percent of global maritime trade.

The Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, have said their attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians as Israel strikes Gaza.

The report, citing unnamed Israeli officials, said the deal would take place in multiple stages, the first of which would see the release of women, men over 60 and those in critical medical condition.

Israeli forces and Hamas fighters clashed in several locations, from Jabalia in the north to Khan Younis farther south. 

As the Indonesian Navy's hospital ship sails the seas on a goodwill mission to El Arish, the Defense Minister has said Indonesia is still discussing with Egypt on the possibility of setting up a field hospital to provide health services for Palestinian refugees who had fled the war in Gaza.

The Defense Minister has given a personal send-off to the Indonesian Navy hospital ship, which departed Jakarta on Thursday on a goodwill mission to Egypt with humanitarian aid for Palestinian refugees from Gaza.

The Indonesian Navy's KRI Frans Kaisiepo is en route for home on a 27-day journey after concluding its mission with UNIFIL's Maritime Task Force in the Mediterranean and handing over its duties to KRI Diponegoro.

Nuclear-armed Pakistan and neighbouring Iran are both battling simmering insurgencies along their sparsely populated border regions.

Pakistan denounced the strike, near the nations' shared border late on Tuesday, as "completely unacceptable", saying it was unprovoked.

The Foreign Ministry has assembled a team of experts to help formulate Indonesia’s arguments in an International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory case that seeks to hold Israel accountable for its “policies and practices” in the occupied Palestinian territories.

More than 100 days into the war, the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under intense international pressure to end the fighting as civilian deaths soar and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens.

The British leader also told lawmakers that there were no reports of civilian casualties from the joint strikes, which occurred overnight between Thursday and Friday.

The Western strikes targeting the Houthis' missile and drone capabilities risked inflaming regional tensions, and came despite Biden's previous warnings against any escalation in the Middle East after the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel.

Amid relentless international pressure on Israel to end its military activities in the Gaza Strip, Indonesia has been preparing a delegation for a hearing at the United Nations top court on Tel Aviv’s occupation of Palestine.

The case, brought by South Africa, is due to begin hearings on Thursday and focus on the many civilians among the more than 23,000 people that Gaza health authorities say have been killed in the more than three-month-old war between Israel and Hamas.

The West Bank, a territory occupied by the Israeli army since 1967, has seen a sharp increase in violence since the start of the war in Gaza.

At least 103 people died in southern Iran at the grave of Revolutionary Guards General Qasem Soleimani, as mourners gathered exactly four years after he was killed in a US drone strike.

Arouri, 57, was the first senior Hamas political leader to be assassinated since Israel launched a shattering air and ground offensive against the group almost three months ago after its shock assault and rampage into Israeli towns. 

The base in question is the Al Udeid Air Base, which is located in the desert southwest of Doha and hosts the largest US military facility in the Middle East, the source said, asking to not be identified. 

Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a New Year's message that some of the 300,000 army reservists would get a break from the war, in order to prepare for the "prolonged fighting" ahead.

There has been no respite from Israel's air raids, artillery fire or ground fighting with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, to the despair of Palestinians surviving the onslaught.

The Indonesia Hospital, which stopped operations due to a fuel shortage in November, is reportedly being used by the Israeli military personnel as an outpost.
