Israeli airstrikes killed at least 38 Palestinians in Gaza, hospital officials said on Sunday. Israel's military said it has struck over 100 targets in the strip in the past day. The strikes came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was preparing to fly to Washington for talks at the White House aimed at what would be a temporary ceasefire if enacted.

U.S.-led ceasefire efforts in Gaza appeared to gain momentum Saturday after nearly 21 months of war as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel on Sunday will send a negotiating team to talks in Qatar.
