Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza amid mass protests and strikes by Israelis. Netanyahu insists on continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi corridor, a key point of contention in negotiations with Hamas. President Joe Biden criticized Netanyahu for not doing enough to secure a deal. Despite ongoing tensions, there are efforts to release hostages and mitigate the conflict's toll on both sides. The situation remains complex with deep divisions within Israel and continuing violence in Gaza.
