  • Former army chief Gadi Eisenkot, a member of Israel's War Cabinet, says that only a cease-fire deal can win the release of dozens of hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza.
  • Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have said the fighting will continue until Hamas is crushed, and argue that only military action can win the hostages' release.
  • Rifts are emerging among top Israeli officials over the handling of the war against Hamas in Gaza.
  • Iran and Pakistan traded strikes on each other's territories this week, raising fears of greater turmoil in a region already grappling with instability and conflict.
