In another major escalation, the US has confirmed three of its military personnel were killed in a militant strike on a Jordanian base, its first fatalities in the Middle East since October 7. It's the conflict's latest challenge for the Biden administration, following its decision to withdraw aid for the UN's Palestinian relief agency, after Israeli allegations members participated in Hamas' attacks. Amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, Palestinians in Gaza and the families of Israeli hostages have called for an end to fighting so that aid can resume and hostages be released.
