'Just give up and surrender': Hamas outgunned and outnumbered - and some in Gaza blame leader

With the US diplomatic backing, and with more of its ammunition supplies being shipped to Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that to achieve his goals of rescuing hostages - but more importantly, in reality, the destruction of Hamas - then a ceasefire is a non-starter. Despite their admirable work, in truth they won't get very far for the time being because neither of the protagonists - Hamas and Israel - seem awfully interested in a ceasefire anyway.

Suella Braverman: ‘Hate on Britain’s streets proves that multiculturalism has failed’
An end to round-the-clock telephone calls requesting approval for intelligence-service operations might seem a happy by-product of being suddenly ousted as home secretary. But, says Suella Braverman, as a parent of a two-year-old, that has not necessarily meant more sleep. “My daughter still wakes up at 3am,” she sighs. “But, yes, I don’t need to worry about the national-security issues.”

The clock is ticking for Israel despite UN failing to agree on ceasefire resolution
As the United Nations vote showed last night, Israel still has the backing of its most powerful ally, the United States, and the UK who chose to abstain. The US-Israeli relationship is likely to become increasingly strained over the next few weeks if the two sides continue to disagree over the path forward, and the humanitarian situation for civilians in Gaza continues to worsen. It has been reported that Israel believes it needs another two months to complete this phase of intense fighting in Gaza, but the US wants them to finish by the end of the year.
