Talks to secure the release of the hostages, believed to number 60 to 70, have been stalled, with Netanyahu's recent comparison of the Hamas leader to a biblical character adding to the complexity of the situation.

China Rejects US Request for Defense Chiefs Meeting.

China has declined a request by the US for a meeting between their defense chiefs at an annual security forum in Singapore this weekend, citing no reasons. The Pentagon said it believed in open communication "to ensure that competition does not veer into conflict." The prospect of a meeting between them was being closely watched given regional security tensions and trade disputes that have derailed plans for re-engagement by the world's two largest economies.
