Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih said talks toward a normalization of ties with Israel remain on the table, though they have always been “contingent on a pathway to a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian question.”

Israel said its troops are fighting inside Gaza City as they move toward its heart from the north and south. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel could keep security control over Gaza for an “indefinite period,” suggesting a longer-term role in the besieged territory.
