Israeli lawmakers opposed to Prime Minister Netanyahu say they've formed a coalition to oust him from power. Netanyahu has been in office a record 12 years and is expected to fight the move.

At first it looked like the war with Hamas might boost Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chances of forming a government. But as the battle recedes, "Netanyahu fatigue," starts to set in.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Jerusalem with a limited agenda, but many people are hanging hopes on his talks. Blinken meets Tuesday with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

We hear the latest from ground in Israel, where a cease-fire in the hostilities with Hamas went into effect early Friday morning.

There might be an end soon to the fighting between Israel and Hamas. After 11 days of airstrikes, Israel says it is willing to cease-fire, and Hamas officials have already been saying they would.

After shrapnel struck where his young son plays, a father in the Gaza Strip says his neighbors are traumatized by the violence: "We just don't want to die under the rubble of our houses."

While pressure builds for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, strikes from both sides continue and the death toll mounts. Pressure builds on President Biden to get more involved.

As the battle between Israel and Hamas enters its 10th day, President Biden pressed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to de-escalate the fighting "on the path to a ceasefire," the White House says.

Israeli warplanes carried out another round of airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza, leveling a six-story building, while militants fired dozens of rockets into Israel.

The battle between Israel and Hamas shows little sign of letting up. Militant rocket fire into Israel continues as do Israeli air strikes.

In Washington, calls for an end to the fighting have intensified, including among Democrats in Congress who support Israel and even some Republicans.

Saudi Arabia and Iran have been holding talks in the Middle East. Both sides say there are many contentious points to address.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, appeared to chastise the foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, in a speech Sunday. Zarif had criticized the influence of the Revolutionary Guards.

Citing President Biden's speech to Congress, North Korea says the United States will face a grave situation if it continues to pursue its "hostile policy" toward the country's nuclear program.

Trouble keeps mounting for the massive ship that was stuck in the Suez Canal. Egypt has seized the Ever Given, its thousands of containers and the crew while demanding $1 billion in compensation.

The U.S is withdrawing all troops from Afghanistan to focus on more urgent foreign policy priorities.

Officials in the Biden administration are preparing to issue wide-ranging sanctions against Russia in retaliation for the massive cyber breach discovered late last year.

More than 100 ships of similar size to the Ever Given ply the world's waterways, creating logistical challenges and concerns about mishaps — including "spectacular losses of cargo," one analyst says.

Giant ships are loaded down with cargo, mostly consumer goods during the pandemic, which is causing concern about more mishaps like the one in the Suez Canal, and containers going overboard.

The Biden administration is weighing whether to continue former President Trump's hard line against Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei. It's part of the broader review of China-related policies.
