"Netanyahu's Rejection of Palestinian Sovereignty Sparks Tension with Biden"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects any Palestinian sovereignty post-war, rebuffing U.S. President Joe Biden's suggestion for creative solutions to bridge the gap on Palestinian statehood. Netanyahu faces pressure at home to intensify the war against Hamas while contending with calls for restraint from the United States. Thousands of Israelis protested for new elections and the release of hostages held by Hamas, as the conflict continues to escalate, leading to widespread destruction and displacement in Gaza.
