**Live Update:** Egypt proposes 2-day truce as Israel's strikes kill 53 in Gaza and 21 in Lebanon
Israeli forces killed at least 53 people in Gaza and 21 in Lebanon on Sunday, while UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed shock at the "harrowing levels of death, injury, and destruction" in northern Gaza. Egypt has proposed a two-day ceasefire in Gaza to facilitate an exchange of four Israelis for Palestinian prisoners, as peace negotiations resumed in Doha, Qatar.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that while Iran does not seek war, it would provide an "appropriate response" to Israel’s recent attacks, according to state media. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed at least 42,924 people and wounded 100,833. The Hamas-led attacks in Israel have resulted in 1,139 deaths, with more than 200 people taken captive.
