Israel says 4 soldiers killed in southern Gaza, the first since the Gaza City offensive started
The Israeli military says four soldiers have been killed in the southern Gaza Strip, the first such deaths to be reported since Israel launched a major offensive in Gaza City in the north
Bezalel Smotrich, an ultranationalist who has been sanctioned by the UK and others, said he was in discussion with the US over the idea.
As diplomatic calls grow for an independent Palestine to be more widely recognized at the United Nations General Assembly, increased Israeli activity is undermining the viability of such a nation.
It is thus a positive development that the United Nations has set out an action-oriented pathway towards a peaceful settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the realisation of the “two-state solution”, which is the only way to resolve the long-running conflict.
