U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Hamas this week to negotiate a deal for a ceasefire in its conflict with Israel. However, Hamas leaders don’t want to accept the deals that have been offered as none guarantee an end to Israel’s bombardment of Palestinian-occupied areas.

Colombia became this week the largest nation to break diplomatic ties with Israel over its actions in Gaza. Colombian President Gustavo Petro described said actions at a rally this week as “genocidal.”

In Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is taking a stand against domestic violence, describing the crime as a “national crisis.”

We cover the most important stories from around the world in the international hour of the News Roundup.
