Evening recap

Good evening, Middle East Eye readers,

Benjamin Netanyahu says again that there are no grounds for a ceasefire, as the death toll nears 11,000 with thousands fleeing the northern part of the Gaza Strip on foot.

The Biden administration and the Israeli government have walked back comments suggesting an Israeli occupation ‘post-Hamas’ with the US calling for the Palestinian Authority to rule Gaza after Hamas.
