France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom joined the U.S. in condemning Israel's plans to build 10,000 more housing units in existing settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Following the earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people, Turkey's government struggles to respond to anger over lax building rules, and its plans for the thousands who need homes.

Officials say a 6-year-old boy and a man in his 20s were killed when a Palestinian driver rammed a car into a group of people at a bus stop in a largely ultra-Orthodox Jewish settlement neighborhood.

Holocaust survivor Solomon Perel recently died at the age of 97. He made it through World War II by hiding his Jewish identity and joining the Hitler Youth.

Mourners and the family of the gunman look back on the recent shooting outside a Jerusalem synagogue.

Despite huge protests, Israel's new far-right government is doubling down on its first major initiative: to weaken the judiciary. Hungary and Poland's far-right did the same when they entered office.

Amid rising tensions, Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets Tuesday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He met with Israel's prime minister on Monday.

The State Department has announced Israeli tourists may qualify for visa-free travel to the U.S., but only if Israel stops discriminating against Arab Americans.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to Israel and the West Bank comes against a backdrop of violence, including deadly attacks in Jerusalem and a Palestinian refugee camp.

A 10-month military crackdown, a half-century occupation, increasing Palestinian militancy and a far-right Israeli government could impact the chances for more violence.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to the Middle East next week following three violent incidents that left several civilians dead in recent days.

Militants in the Gaza Strip fired rockets toward Israel and Israeli warplanes bombed Hamas sites in Gaza a day after the deadliest Israeli raid in the West Bank in years.

An Israeli military raid on a Palestinian refugee camp left nine people dead — including several militants and a woman — as months of violence in the West Bank raise concerns about an escalation.

The Palestinian Authority condemned the raid and said it was cutting off security coordination between Palestinian police and Israeli forces.

Israel's new government wants to weaken the judiciary — prompting unprecedented levels of protest. Critics say the effort echoes steps taken by the far-right governments in Hungary and Poland.

Opponents of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are holding protests over his government's proposals that would allow parliament to interfere with court decisions.

Israel is lobbying against calls for an urgent session of the U.N. Security Council, following Tuesday's visit by far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to a sensitive holy site.
