It was unclear if the U.S. or Israel would be willing to engage in further negotiations on the plan's terms. Hamas did not say if it...

Multiple Israeli government officials are blaming the current United Kingdom leadership, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for the deadly terrorist attack against a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur after issuing repeated warnings about rising antisemitism. A rogue terrorist killed two worshippers and injured multiple others outside the packed Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester on Thursday.
