Netanyahu Pushes Back Against New Pressure

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing back against a new wave of pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza after hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested and went on strike. U.S. President Joe Biden says Netanyahu needs to do more after nearly 11 months of fighting. In his first public address since Sunday’s mass protests over the discovery of six more dead hostages, the prime minister said he will continue to insist on a demand that has emerged as a major sticking point in talks. He also declared that no one will preach to me.”
