Israel has rebuffed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call for a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza.

Mr Blinken said he had discussed the idea with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials during their talks in Tel Aviv.

But in a TV statement minutes later, Mr Netanyahu said Israel rejected “a temporary ceasefire that does not include the release of our hostages”.

He said that Israel was “continuing with all our force” against Hamas.

    I was about to block you when I saw that your 222 comments have the astonishing -999 karma.

    Perhaps it is time for you to look in the mirror and ask yourself if all the people here are wrong or there is something wrong with your moral compass, empathy, humanity, etc. I feel sorry about people like you.

      Why would I care what others think?

      Imagine gay right activists throughout the decades giving up because some people didn’t like thier views. Or African Americans or women or Christians.
