PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES: Israel faced growing international pressure on Tuesday to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas as it prepared for an incursion into the southern Gazan city of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians are trapped.

Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns was due in Cairo on Tuesday for a new round of talks on a Qatari-brokered ceasefire proposal that would temporarily halt fighting in exchange for Hamas freeing hostages.
