"We are not waiting. We have begun the initial stages of the attack on Gaza City," IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee told X.

“We are operating with great force in the outskirts of the city,” he emphasizes, while al Jazeera reporters report thousands of displaced people fleeing “under a sky darkened by bombing smoke.”

Meanwhile, in the United States, Trump revokes Palestinian visas ahead of the UN General Assembly.

"Before the PLO and the Palestinian Authority can be considered partners for peace, they must systematically repudiate terrorism—including the October 7 massacre—and end incitement to terrorism in education, as required by U.S. law and as promised by the PLO ," a statement from the U.S. State Department read. "The Palestinian Authority must also end its attempts to circumvent negotiations through international campaigns, including appeals to the ICC, and efforts to achieve unilateral recognition of a potential Palestinian state."

"Both measures materially contributed to Hamas's refusal to release its hostages and the breakdown of ceasefire talks in Gaza ," the State Department concluded, specifying that the Palestinian Authority mission to the UN will receive permits as established by the UN Headquarters Agreement.
