A top Israeli envoy delivered his country's stance on a cease-fire agreement in Gaza to Egyptian mediators in Cairo trying to seal a truce on Thursday. The Iranian president said the fighting showed Israel's continued existence in the region is "not feasible."The development came as the U.N. secretary-general pressed Israel and Gulf leaders gathered in Saudi Arabia to discuss the conflict.
The diplomatic push gained momentum despite competing agendas among Arab and Islamic governments, which are openly disagreeing about how to resolve -- or even discuss -- the conflict between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers.
