"Netanyahu Opposes Palestinian State in Postwar Scenario: Latest Updates"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects U.S. calls to scale back military offensive in Gaza or work towards a Palestinian state postwar, drawing criticism from the White House. The rift reflects a wide divide between the allies over the war's scope and the future of Gaza. Netanyahu vows to press ahead with the offensive until Hamas is destroyed and all hostages are brought home, rejecting claims that these goals are unachievable. The war has killed thousands, displaced many, and stoked tensions in the region, prompting international calls to halt the offensive. The U.S. advocates for the revitalization of the Palestinian Authority and steps toward a Palestinian state, while Netanyahu opposes a two-state solution, leading to a rebuke from the White House.
