"Israeli War Cabinet Sets Ramadan Deadline to 'Finish the Job' in Gaza"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to "finish the job" in Gaza, with a War Cabinet member threatening to invade the city of Rafah if remaining Israeli hostages are not freed by the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Cease-fire negotiations struggle as the U.S. hopes to broker an agreement, while Israel's government rejects international edicts on a permanent arrangement with the Palestinians and opposes Palestinian statehood. The war has killed thousands of Palestinians, displaced 80% of Gaza's population, and led to a humanitarian crisis, with efforts to broker a cease-fire and hostage release showing little progress.
