"Netanyahu Rejects Pleas, Vows to Control Gaza Security in Israel-Hamas War"

Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu rejects the Biden administration's vision for postwar Gaza, stating that Israel will retain overall security control and not cede governance to the Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu vows not to cave to global pressure and highlights the need for an authority that does not promote hatred towards Israel. Meanwhile, heavy shelling continues in Gaza City, with Palestinian officials accusing Israel of targeting civilians, while Israel claims Hamas is using hospitals as command posts. Netanyahu suggests that a hostage deal with Hamas may be near, but declines to provide details. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah calls for increased global protests against Israel, but refrains from fully engaging his militant group in support of Hamas. The war in Gaza is also impacting college choices for Jewish and Muslim families in the US.
