"Hamas Leader Rejects Two-State Solution, Calls for Israel's Demise: Live Updates"
Hamas official Khaled Mashaal rejects the two-state solution and refuses to recognize Israel, advocating for a Palestinian state encompassing the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and all of Israel. Israeli ground forces encircle the southern city of Khan Younis, while pressure mounts for a hostage deal following the killing of 21 soldiers by Palestinian militants. Hamas reportedly rejects an Israeli cease-fire plan but expresses willingness to discuss releasing captives in exchange for a significant pause in fighting. Israeli soldiers were killed while preparing to create a buffer zone along the Gaza border, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to vow to press ahead until "absolute victory."
