Israel's ambassador to the UK rejects a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
"Absolutely no," says Tzipi Hotovely, adding: "The Palestinians never wanted to have a state next to Israel"
The comments double-down on messaging from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hotovely also rules out a ceasefire in Gaza: "It just basically means we would like to welcome another attack of 7 October"
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says early morning Israeli air strikes kill at least 19 people.
In Israel, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is expected to hold talks with Israeli ministers on Thursday.
Hamas broke through Israel's heavily guarded perimeter on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages - some of whom were released during a brief truce.
The health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, says 18,600 people have been killed and 50,000 injured in the enclave since the start of the Gaza war.
