A joint statement from Palestinian factions says this U.N.
resolution deprives Palestinians of their right to manage their own affairs and aims to impose, quote, international trusteeship on Gaza with a vision that is biased toward Israel.
Aside from creating an international force, the draft resolution also leaves open the door to Palestinian independence.
But at a government meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he opposes a Palestinian state on any territory.
The Israeli prime minister's office says forensic tests show the latest body returned to Israel is that of a retired Israeli military officer.
An Israeli hostage forum says Lior Rudeyev was a 61-year-old volunteer ambulance driver who was killed on October 7, 2023, after a fierce battle with Hamas-led militants at the gates of the kibbutz where he lived in southern Israel.

Any British right of first refusal is not in the 1917 treaty, and the UK government tells NPR it has no plans to exercise it. But technically, if Trump wants to buy Greenland, he might have to ask Britain first. Lauren Freyer, NPR News, London.
