Israel-Palestine and Iran Tensions Escalate

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu disputes Biden's statements about Palestinian statehood after the war against Hamas in Gaza, while tensions rise between Israel and Iran following an Israeli strike on a building in Damascus, resulting in the deaths of several Iranian advisers and Syrian troops. Thousands in Tel Aviv demand action on Gaza hostages, with over 100 hostages freed in a November truce but 132 remaining, including 27 killed in captivity. Protesters in Tel Aviv call for change to Netanyahu's government amidst lagging support and growing dismay over the government's actions during the October 7 attacks and its ongoing response to the Gaza conflict.
