Israel’s renewed military offensive in the Gaza Strip threatens to be even deadlier and more destructive than the last, as it pursues wider aims with far fewer constraints.

The wave of Israeli strikes that killed hundreds of Palestinians across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday was the culmination of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to get out of the ceasefire with Hamas that he agreed to in January.

The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations to move Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

White House press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that U.S. officials have had “ongoing talks and discussions” with Hamas officials, as the ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas hangs in the balance.

Israel has introduced what it said was a new U.S. ceasefire plan and is trying to force Hamas to accept it by imposing a siege on the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will discuss “victory over Hamas,” countering Iran and expanding diplomatic relations with Arab countries in his meeting with President Donald Trump.

Mediator Qatar has announced that an agreement has been reached to release an Israeli civilian hostage and allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza.

In the days since a fragile ceasefire took hold in the Gaza Strip, Israel has launched a major military operation in the occupied West Bank and suspected Jewish settlers have rampaged through two Palestinian towns.

Shortly after suspected Jewish settlers stormed Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank, U.S. President Donald Trump canceled sanctions against Israelis accused of violence in the territory.

Israel’s top general has resigned, citing the security and intelligence failures related to Hamas’ surprise attack that triggered the war in Gaza.

The Gaza ceasefire and hostage release agreement is expected to take effect as soon as Sunday.

The U.S. on Monday imposed sanctions on organizations and firms involved in illegal settlement development in the occupied West Bank, including a well-established decades-old group that has close ties with Israeli leadership.

Protests have erupted in Paris against a controversial gala organized by far-right figures in support of Israel.

Advocates of Jewish settlement in the West Bank believe they have reason to celebrate after Donald Trump's election win.

Israel's finance minister has slammed a decision by the financial ratings agency Moody’s to downgrade Israel’s credit rating.

The director of the main U.N. aid agency for Palestinians says Israeli restrictions are preventing food for 1.1 million people from reaching war-battered Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has received an invitation for an official visit to China but didn't disclose whether or when the trip would take place.

Israel’s government has granted a pro-settlement firebrand authority over planning in the occupied West Bank and lifted red tape on the settlement housing approval process.

(AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo)JERUSALEM – Final election results on Thursday showed Israel in political deadlock once again, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his opponents falling short of a governing majority. Tuesday’s vote, Israel’s fourth parliamentary elections in two years, was widely seen as a referendum on Netanyahu’s fitness to rule while on trial for corruption. A right-wing party led by former Netanyahu ally Naftali Bennett won seven seats and an Arab Islamist party led by Mansour Abbas won four. Israelis vote for party lists rather than candidates in a system that often gives outsized power to small, sectarian factions. Despite the charges against him, Netanyahu’s Likud party received around a quarter of the votes, making it the largest party in parliament.

Exit polls by Israel's three main television channels projected the Religious Zionist Party will win six to seven seats, the best-ever showing by an extreme right-wing party. He is allied with Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the far-right Jewish Power party. Ben Gvir later became a lawyer who represented Jewish extremists suspected of attacking Palestinians. Ben Gvir has said he favors the expulsion of Arabs who are hostile to the state. In the lead-up to the election Ben Gvir sought to distance himself from Kahane's most extreme views.
