Part 7/10:
Internationally, the European Union's foreign ministers are convening to consider possible sanctions against Israel if the hardline policies persist. UN Secretary-General Guterres expressed concern over Israel’s rejection of the two-state solution, reiterating that Palestinians’ rights to sovereignty should be recognized by the international community.

Issues such as border definitions, the right of return for Palestinian refugees, mutual recognition of Israel, and governance of Gaza remain contentious.
