U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged progress in ceasefire talks in the 20-month war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, though some weary Palestinians were skeptical about the chances. Israel issued a new mass evacuation order for parts of northern Gaza.

At least 86 people were killed as the result of Israeli attacks in the 24 hours before midday Sunday, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

President Trump raised expectations last week when he told reporters in the Oval Office that there could be a ceasefire agreement within the next week.
