In the southern city of Rafah, Israeli troops opened fire early Monday, killing 33 Palestinians trying to reach a food center run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The incident occurred near the Flag Roundabout, where two witnesses reported seeing Heba Jouda and Mohammed Abed shot. The GHF system, which Israel claims is needed to prevent Hamas from siphoning off aid, has been rejected by U.N. agencies and major aid groups, who say it cannot meet Gaza's needs and allows Israel to use aid as a weapon.

The US is unlikely to endorse a joint statement calling for de-escalation in conflicts with Israel and Iran, despite pressure from Canada and European nations. This may derail the summit's fragile consensus, similar to 2018 when Trump pulled out of a G7 communique after Quebec. Multiple draft documents remain unsigned by the US on issues like artificial intelligence and critical minerals, casting doubt on a unified message emerging from the summit.
