Israel-Gaza live updates: 'Constructive meeting' with officials but 'gaps' remain, Israeli PM's office says
Israel alleged several UNRWA staff members were involved in the Oct. 7 attacks.
More than 100 days since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, the Israeli military continues its bombardment of the neighboring Gaza Strip.
The conflict, now the deadliest between the warring sides since Israel's founding in 1948, shows no signs of letting up soon and the brief cease-fire that allowed for over 100 hostages to be freed from Gaza remains a distant memory.

What we know about the conflict
The latest outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, has passed the four-month mark.
In the Gaza Strip, at least 30,228 people have been killed and 71,377 others have been wounded by Israeli forces since Oct. 7, according to Gaza's Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health.
In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 6,900 others have been injured by Hamas and other Palestinian militants since Oct. 7, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
There has also been a surge in violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have killed at least 395 people in the territory since Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The ongoing war began after Hamas-led militants launched an unprecedented incursion into southern Israel from neighboring Gaza via land, sea and air. Scores of people were killed while more than 200 others were taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. The Israeli military subsequently launched retaliatory airstrikes followed by a ground invasion of Gaza, a 140-square-mile territory where more than 2 million Palestinians have lived under a blockade imposed by Israel and supported by Egypt since Hamas came to power in 2007. Gaza, unlike Israel, has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.

Netanyahu says war to continue 'on all fronts,' rejects Hamas' 'terms of surrender'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will "continue the war on all fronts and in all sectors."
"We do not give immunity to any terrorist -- not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Syria and not anywhere," Netanyahu said in the statement Sunday, written in Hebrew.
The prime minster added, "Whoever tries to hurt us -- we hurt him."
Netanyahu said he's working to secure the return of all the hostages "around the clock," and added: "But to be clear: I reject outright the terms of surrender of the monsters of Hamas."
Netanyahu also said he had a conversation with President Joe Biden over the weekend, in which he emphasized "determination to complete all war objectives, and to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel," according to the prime minister's statement.
"That is why I insist that after we achieve complete victory, after we eliminate Hamas -- there will be no factor in Gaza that finances terrorism, educator of terrorism or courier of terrorism," Netanyahu said.
"Gaza must be demilitarized, under full security control of the State of Israel," he said. "I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over all the territory west of Jordan."
Netanyahu added he will continue to "firmly" stand by his insistence to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state for as long as he is prime minister.

UN's top court orders Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza but no cease-fire
The United Nations' top court on Friday demanded that Israel try to contain death and damage in its military offensive in the neighboring Gaza Strip but stopped short of ordering a cease-fire.
With a panel of 17 judges in The Hague, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take "all measures within its power" to prevent committing genocide against Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinian residents amid the ongoing war with Hamas, the militant group that rules the tiny, coastal territory.
Friday's ruling is part of a preliminary decision in South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza -- charges which Israel vehemently denies. South Africa had asked the court to order Israel to halt its military operation in the war-torn enclave while the case is being reviewed.
A State Department official said [in a statement] the ruling is "consistent with our view that Israel has the right to take action to ensure" the attacks of Oct. 7 aren't repeated. The official added that the U.S. has "consistently made clear that Israel must take all take all possible steps to minimize civilian harm, increase the flow of humanitarian assistance, and address dehumanizing rhetoric."
"We continue to believe that allegations of genocide are unfounded and note the court did not make a finding about genocide or call for a cease-fire in its ruling and that it called for the unconditional, immediate release of all hostages being held by Hamas,” the State Department official said. "We will continue to monitor this proceeding as it moves forward."
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called the ruling a "victory for international law, for human rights, and above all, for justice."
Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant said in response to the ruling that Israel does not need to be "lectured on morality in order to distinguish between terrorists and the civilian population in Gaza." Former Israeli Defense Minister and current Knesset cabinet member Benny Gantz added that "those who should stand trial are those who murdered and kidnapped children, women and the elderly."
