Israel's renewed offensive in Gaza aims to increase pressure on Hamas to release hostages, but reality repeatedly shows these goals are incompatible.

A court in Bosnia has issued an arrest warrant over separatist activities for Milorad Dodik, the leader of the country’s Serb minority, who is currently in Israel for an antisemitism conference organized by Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli. Israeli officials made it clear to Dodik that he was not welcome at the event, prompting him to leave the venue.

For the third consecutive day, protests against the terrorist organization erupted in northern Gaza, including in Jabaliya and Beit Lahia. Demonstrators in Jabaliya held signs reading: “We won’t be pawns,” “We want to live,” and “Hamas out.” Children chanted: “Hamas is a terrorist organization.”

Medical teams dispatched to multiple sites following reports of interception debris.

Earlier, CBS News reported that multiple insiders revealed Thursday that discussions are underway about whether Stefanik should step back from the nomination, given the party’s razor-thin control of the House.
