Secretary of State Antony Blinken calls on Israeli PM Netanyahu for an "immediate, sustained ceasefire" in Gaza.
Quick Glance: US Fails Resolution for Immediate Cease-Fire in Gaza
  • A U.S. effort to increase political pressure on Israel failed in the UN Security Council as Russia and China vetoed it.

  • The resolution emphasized concerns about a ground offensive in Rafah and criticized the humanitarian toll of Israel's offensive.

  • However, the resolution linked a cease-fire to the release of hostages in Gaza, a stance supported by Israel.

  • US officials aim to persuade Israel for an alternative approach in Rafah to minimize civilian casualties, as a summit in Washington is planned.

Quick Glance: Hostage Crisis: Israel's Dilemma and Hamas' Path to Victory
  • Israel has killed thousands of Hamas fighters and caused destruction in Gaza, facing a dilemma that will determine the conflict's outcome.

  • Netanyahu denies a dilemma, aiming to destroy Hamas and free the hostages, but a compromise could mean a militant victory.

  • Hamas holds hostages as bargaining chips, while Israel is torn between the captives and military success.

  • A potential solution involves Israel releasing hostages in exchange for a Gaza withdrawal, with Hamas retaining control and potentially celebrating a costly victory.
