Hamas has re-emerged in parts of Gaza, Blinken said, and “heavy action” by Israeli forces in the southern city of Rafah risks leaving America’s closest Mideast ally “holding the bag on an enduring insurgency.” He said the United States has worked with Arab countries and others for weeks on developing “credible plans for security, for governance, for rebuilding’’ ...

"Whenever you have conflicts like this, and emotions rage high, and things happen in a war, famine happens," she said during an interview with NBC aired on Saturday. "What I can explain to you is - is that there is famine - full-blown famine - in the north." McCain warned mass starvation was "moving its way south", where the vast majority of Gaza's population has fled fighting between Israel and Hamas. The UN has claimed since mid-March that northern Gaza is "nearing" a stat...

He said an “immediate, sustained ceasefire” with the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas was urgentl...
