President Joe Biden stepped up the pressure on Israel to end 10 days of violent fighting with Palestinians, making clear in a call Wednesday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "that he expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire" in the battle with Hamas.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) exaggerated the degree of its incursion into the Gaza Strip on Friday morning, in order to draw Hamas fighters into their underground tunnel network before the Israeli Air Force (IAF) could bomb them, a new report says.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's time in power could be at an end after he failed to form a new governing coalition in the country's parliament by a midnight deadline Tuesday.
