RAFAH, Palestinian Territories — Fresh strikes were reported across the Gaza Strip overnight into Monday as mediators urged Israel and Hamas to agree to a truce and hostage release deal outlined by United States President Joe Biden.
Since Biden spoke about the deal at the White House on Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted that Israel will pursue the war — now nearing its ninth month — until it has destroyed Hamas and freed the hostages taken during the Palestinian militant group's unprecedented attacks on Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas has said it 'views positively' what Biden described as an Israel i proposal.
