Israel’s largest trade union called a general strike to pressure the government for a cease-fire in Gaza. The strike aims to bring back the remaining hostages held by Hamas after the bodies of six hostages, including an Israeli-American man, were recovered. Netanyahu vowed to hold Hamas accountable for the killings, blaming the militant group for stalled negotiations. Families of hostages urge for the implementation of a cease-fire and hostage release, while Biden and Harris condemned Hamas's actions and pledged to secure the remaining hostages’ release.
