Borrell says \u201cThe #UNSC must act immediately to prevent a full collapse of the humanitarian situation in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/gaza\">Gaza<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The UN secretary general, Ant\u00f3nio Guterres,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/antonioguterres\/status\/1732457928496496793\">has invoked a rarely used clause<\/a>&nbsp;in the UN charter to warn that the conflict \u201cmay aggravate existing threats to international peace and security\u201d<\/strong>.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Guterres, in a letter to the Security Council, said he expects \u201cpublic order to completely break down soon due to the desperate conditions\u201d in Gaza as the territory comes under constant bombardment by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In response, Israel\u2019s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said Guterres \u201creached a new moral low\u201d and once again called for the UN chief to resign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Associated Press has published a new poll, which shows Democratic views on how President Joe Biden is handling the conflict has rebounded slightly.<\/strong>&nbsp;The new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows 59% of Democrats approve of Biden\u2019s approach to the conflict, a tick up from 50% in November.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Israeli forces have surrounded the Gaza house of top Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar,&nbsp;<\/strong>Benjamin Netanyahu has said.<strong>&nbsp;\u201c<\/strong>It\u2019s only a matter of time before we get him,\u201d the Israeli prime minister said on Wednesday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Sinwar, who Israeli officials have described as the architect of the 7 October attacks, is hiding underground. A senior Netanyahu adviser described the operation as a \u201csymbolic victory\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Israeli forces and Hamas are fighting house-to-house battles along the length of the Gaza Strip<\/strong>. As the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been fighting their way through badly bomb-damaged urban areas in northern and southern Gaza, Hamas has increasingly relied on improvised bombs to inflict casualties and slow down the assault. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/dec\/06\/israel-and-hamas-fight-house-to-house-battles-across-gaza\">&nbsp;focal points of the fighting&nbsp;<\/a>over the past two days have been the&nbsp;<strong>Jabalia refugee camp<\/strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<strong>Shuja\u2019iyya district<\/strong>&nbsp;in northern Gaza, and&nbsp;<strong>Khan Younis<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>Bani Suheila<\/strong>&nbsp;in the south.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Israeli forces have surrounded the city of Khan Younis are now operating \u201cin the heart\u201d of the southern Gaza city,<\/strong>&nbsp;the IDF said on Wednesday. The IDF called on residents of Khan Younis to flee the city for safer areas on Wednesday morning, noting that there would be a pause until 2pm in the bombardment of Rafah, immediately to the south on the Egyptian border. Residents reported that the IDF dropped leaflets quoting a verse in the Qur\u2019an on the area. The UN and aid agencies say&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/dec\/05\/un-martin-griffiths-idf-campaign-southern-gaza-apocalyptic-conditions\">nowhere in Gaza is safe any more<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The United States has discussed with Israel its timeline for military operations in Gaza<\/strong>and \u201chow this falls into a longer-term strategy for addressing this issue that goes beyond just military means,\u201d White House national security adviser Jake<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Sullivan has told Reuters in a telephone interview. \u201cWe have talked to them about timetables.
