After the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement expired on Saturday, Israel is looking to extend the deal, but Hamas refuses to consider it, insisting that Israel pull out of Gaza and end the war. Now, Israeli leaders are giving an ultimatum, warning of severe consequences if hostages aren't released by next weekend.

Young Jewish-American comedian Zach Sage could have had a more conventional Hollywood career. He features several Disney films and television projects on his resume and was a YouTube pioneer. Yet, his concern about rampant global antisemitism fueled by the war in Gaza took him to the West Bank, to the Palestinian city of Ramallah.

For Israelis, this will be the first weekend in six weeks that Hamas-held hostages, living or dead, will likely not be freed. Both the U.S. and Israel are sending top negotiators to Cairo to work out an agreement for the return of the remaining hostages.

More than 100,000 Israelis lined the roads as the funeral cars carrying the bodies of slain former hostages Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas made their way to the cemetery in southern Israel, not far from their home at Kibbutz Nir Oz. The crowd carried Israeli flags and orange balloons, depicting the color of the children's hair, now a symbol of honor and shared grief for the family.
