Israel has rebuffed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call for a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza.

Mr Blinken said he had discussed the idea with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials during their talks in Tel Aviv.

But in a TV statement minutes later, Mr Netanyahu said Israel rejected “a temporary ceasefire that does not include the release of our hostages”.

He said that Israel was “continuing with all our force” against Hamas.

    More often than not I see one comment on a post and am looking forward to read it only to discover it’s a bot comment which I’m never interested in reading. If I’d be interested in TLDR’s of articles I’d just install some browser extension for it.

    At least I’d hope that comments marked as made by bots would not count into the comment count.
