The situation in Israel involves tension within the government over a ceasefire proposal for Gaza.
Two far-right Israeli ministers threaten to quit if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepts the plan presented by US President Joe Biden.
The proposal includes a six-week ceasefire and aims for a permanent cessation of hostilities, hostage release, and Gaza reconstruction.
The ministers oppose any deal before Hamas is dismantled. Opposition leader Yair Lapid pledges support for Netanyahu if he backs the plan.
Tens of thousands protest in Tel Aviv, urging acceptance of Biden’s proposal and Netanyahu’s resignation.
Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the US urge Israel and Hamas to finalize the agreement.
Fighting continues in Gaza, resulting in casualties. Israel insists on Hamas destruction before a permanent ceasefire.
