For the first time since the October 7 massacre, Israel has launched ground in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
The offensive came a day after what aid groups and local officials called one of the deadliest day for Gazans seeking aid, with at least 80 people killed by Israeli forcesHere is a roundup of developments in Israel, Gaza and the wider Middle East on Monday July 21:
25 countries say war in Gaza 'must end now' and demand Israel 'comply with international law'
Twenty-five countries including Britain, France and a host of European nations said the war in Gaza "must end now" and Israel "must comply with international law."
The foreign ministries of countries including Australia, Canada and Japan condemned "the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians" seeking food.
The statement comes after the Health Ministry in Gaza said at least 80 people were killed on Sunday as Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians who were attempting to acquire food in northern Gaza.
"The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths," UK Foreign Minister David Lammy posted on X. "We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid."
In addition to Britain, France, Australia, Canada and Japan, the foreign ministries of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are also on the statement.
"The Israeli government's aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity," the statement read.
"Proposals to remove the Palestinian population into a "humanitarian city" are completely unacceptable. Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law," it said.
Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have been taking place in Qatar. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly asserted that expanding Israel's military operations in Gaza will put pressure on Hamas during negotiations.

UN food agency accuses Israel of firing shots on those seeking aid in Gaza
The UN food agency has accused Israel of using tanks and snipers to fire on a crowd of Palestinians who were attempting to reach a convoy of trucks carrying food, in what the territory's Health Ministry described as one of the deadliest days for aid-seekers in over 21 months of war.
The World Food Program condemned the violence that erupted in northern Gaza.
"As the convoy approached, the surrounding crowd came under fire from Israeli tanks, snipers and other gunfire," WFP said in a statement, which was also posted on X and its website.
The incident resulted in the loss of "countless lives" with many more suffering "life-threatening injuries."
"These people were simply trying to access food to feed themselves and their families on the brink of starvation. This terrible incident underscores the increasingly dangerous conditions under which humanitarian operations are forced to be conducted in Gaza."
The Health Ministry in Gaza said at least 80 people were killed in the incident.
The Israeli military said it fired warning shots "to remove an immediate threat," but disputed the high death toll.
Israel strikes Hodeida port in Yemen
Israel said its forces struck Yemen's Hodeida port on Monday as it continues to carry out attacks on Houthi-held areas.
These Israeli military attacks included one on Hodeida earlier this month. This came alongside repeated missile and drone attacks from Yemen's Houthi rebels, a militant group which claims to act in solidarity with Palestinians.
On Monday, the Israeli military "struck terror targets of the Houthi terror regime at the port of Hodeida and is forcefully enforcing the prevention of any attempt to restore the previously attacked terror infrastructure," Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.
"Yemen's fate will be the same as Tehran's," Katz added, in what seemed to be a reference to the recent 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran in which Israel attacked Iranian military and nuclear sites, as well as targets in the capital.
Israel launches ground and air assault on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza
The Israeli army expanded its operations, including a ground offensive, on Monday in the city of Deir al-Balah in the center of the Gaza Strip.
It is the first time Israel has launched a ground offensive in Deir al-Balah in the 21 months since it began its attacks in the region in the wake of the October 7, 2023 attacks.
On Sunday, the Israeli military warned of imminent action against Hamas fighters in the area. An army spokesman called on residents to leave the area in a post in Arabic on X.
The Israeli military continues "to operate with intensity to eliminate terrorists and to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the area and is expanding its activities into new areas," the army said in a statement. "For your safety, immediately evacuate southward toward Al-Mawasi."
Situated in the southwest of the embattled area, Al-Mawasi was designated by Israel as a "humanitarian zone" earlier in the war. However, Israel has since attacked there multiple times, with its military saying it was targeting Hamas facilities.
Meanwhile, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned the mass displacement order had dealt "yet another devastating blow" to the Gaza Strip.
Initial estimates indicated that between 50,000 and 80,000 people were in the area when Sunday's order was given, including some 30,000 people sheltering in 57 displacement sites, OCHA said in a statement.
