The former Israeli prime minister urges an end to the war on Gaza and believes Netanyahu should propose a two-state solution to maintain international support

The resolution marks a new setback for the conservative prime minister, whose popularity has plummeted after his government failed to detect the October 7 Hamas attacks that led to the Gaza war

The country has been under pressure from its chief ally, the United States, to begin to switch to lower-intensity fighting in an assault that has led to the deaths of nearly 22,000 Palestinians

Under the ceasefire proposal, supported by Washington, Israeli soldiers would leave the most populated areas to facilitate the entry of large amounts of humanitarian aid. Hamas rejects it

The threat of a new veto from Washington reduced the initial demands for a suspension of hostilities and instead asks for ‘urgent steps’ to create the conditions for a sustainable suspension of the fighting

The main road in Huwara, a town of around 7,500 inhabitants, is a strange point of confluence. In calmer times, Jews and Arabs alike repaired their cars here because it was cheaper. Now it is a hot spot of conflict

‘Even on this difficult evening, we will bind up our wounds, learn the lessons and continue with a supreme effort to return all our hostages home safely,’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement

Netanyahu tries to iron out differences with the United States, thanking it for delivering weapons for the war and vetoing the UN call for a ceasefire

The announcements were issued separately and it was unclear how the arrests were connected and if they were the result of coordinated actions

Hamas has continued to resist and killed nine Israeli soldiers in an ambush in the same northern neighborhood where it put troops at risk in 2014

The U.S. president said Israel must change its government and warned that the country is ‘starting to lose support’ over its ‘indiscriminate’ bombing of Gaza

Father Munther and other Christian clergy made an appeal to the White House for a ceasefire. ‘There they celebrate Christmas with presents and lights, and here they send us weapons and the machinery of war’
