Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would not join in cease-fire talks over his demand that Israel remain in control of Gaza 's border with Egypt .

Thousands of workers across Israel walked off their jobs following a night of protests over his failure to reach a deal for the release of hostages.

At the White House , President Biden said the United States will hold Hamas leaders accountable for American Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin 's death.

In Gaza , a polio vaccination campaign continued.

Yohananan Plesner : Many Israelis think that Netanyahu is managing this negotiation in bad faith.

He says the prime minister has positioned his case as a security argument about the merit of holding on to the border between Gaza and Egypt .

But the defense establishment doesn't agree with him, he says, and there's more wiggle room for Israeli compromises.
