Gaza's 'Board of Peace' Shattered: Israeli Attack Kills Children, US Meets Netanyahu

• Two Palestinian boys, Mohammed (14) and Suleiman (13), were killed by Israeli forces while collecting wood in northern Gaza.
• The Israeli army claimed its soldiers felt threatened and denied the victims were children, a claim refuted by the family.
• US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met Israeli PM Netanyahu to discuss Gaza's future, disarming Hamas, and lasting peace.
• Despite a ceasefire, 484 people have been killed and over 1,300 injured in Gaza; the total death toll since October 2023 exceeds 71,000.
• The US aims for a 100-day target to disarm Hamas, including destroying tunnels and eliminating ammunition.

Why It Matters: Despite peace talks and a ceasefire, violence persists in Gaza, with civilian casualties, including children.
