"Israel Withdraws Troops from Gaza Amid Talks with Hamas: Latest Updates"

Israel has withdrawn a division of ground troops from southern Gaza, raising questions about its plans as the war with Hamas reaches the six-month mark. The Biden administration has warned against a ground invasion of Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, while Israel's defense minister insists on eliminating Hamas in the entire Gaza Strip. The war has reached an impasse, with analysts and diplomats seeing no resolution in sight, and mediators finding it difficult to advance negotiations for a truce. Nicaragua is broadening the legal battle over the Gaza conflict at the International Court of Justice by bringing a case against Germany, a major supplier of arms to Israel, alleging that Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide in Gaza. At a demonstration in Manhattan, Representative Jerrold Nadler was booed for encouraging attendees to push for humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza while calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
