"Israel accuses Hamas of using human shields as major explosion rocks Gaza hospital"

The Palestinian Authority is willing to govern the Gaza Strip if the United States commits to a two-state solution, including the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. The U.S. believes the Palestinian Authority should play a central role in Gaza after Hamas is destroyed. However, a PLO official warns that without a comprehensive initiative from the U.S., postwar Gaza could become a breeding ground for radicalism. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to strike Gaza City and close in on Gaza's largest hospital, accusing Hamas of using civilian infrastructure as cover. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vows to combat the recent surge in violent antisemitism and protect German Jews.
