"Netanyahu Opposes Palestinian Statehood in Postwar Scenario, Sparks Middle East Crisis"

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. Netanyahu vows to continue offensive until Hamas is destroyed and all hostages are returned, rejecting claims that these goals are unachievable. The U.S. urges revitalization of the Palestinian Authority and steps towards a Palestinian state, while Netanyahu opposes a two-state solution, citing security concerns. The war has led to international calls to halt the offensive, with growing criticism and divisions within Israeli society over Netanyahu's handling of the war.
