Gaza's health ministry is accusing Israel of firing at Palestinians while waiting to receive desperately needed aid in the besieged territory, killing 20 people and injuring 150. The Israeli military has denied these reports. 

Officials also disclosed an Israeli strike occurred while a crowd gathered to receive assistance from a food truck at the Kuwait roundabout, a crucial intersection used by humanitarian convoys delivering essential food supplies to northern Gaza. 

An AFP journalist at the scene witnessed several fatalities and individuals suffering from gunshot wounds, said The Guardian.

Chuck Schumer, the US Senate majority leader, distanced himself from the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, yesterday concerning his handling of the Gaza invasion and pressed for Israel to call for new elections.

Schumer, the top-ranking Jewish official in the US, highlighted his longstanding connection with Netanyahu but remarked, "he has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel." 

The Senate majority leader's comments didn't go over quite well with Republican Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, who criticized Schumer's remarks.

Israel's ruling Likud party also told Schumer to "respect Israel's elected government and not undermine it."
