As Gaza deaths climb over 46,000, some pin hope for a truce on Trump
Read Original Source
Tel Aviv — Israeli military strikes killed more than 600 people in the Gaza Strip in the first 10 days of 2025, pushing the death toll over 46,000 since the war began on Oct. 7, 2023, according to the Hamas-run Palestinian territory's health ministry, and one new estimate suggests it could be much higher. Israel launched the war after Hamas carried out its unprecedented terrorist attack, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 others hostage.

Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Fighting in Gaza and Yemen can keep oil, shipping, and aid routes shaky, which may raise prices and add market risk for US households and small businesses.
Positive Impact
A ceasefire and hostage deal could reduce the chance of wider war, easing pressure on trade and helping US consumers and taxpayers.
