Protesters demanding new elections in Israel clashed with police near the Jerusalem house of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday after he dissolved the government's War Cabinet, leaving him as the unquestioned decision-maker regarding the eight-month-old conflict in Gaza.

Police said nine people were arrested, some for attacking officers, and the demonstration was declared illegal and dispersed with a water canon. Reuters reported thousands of protesters marched from the Knesset − the Israeli parliament − toward Netanyahu's home and some tried to break through barriers before being pushed back by police.

Netanyahu, who returned to power in 2022 with a right-wing coalition, disbanded the War Cabinet a week after centrist opposition leader Benny Gantz resigned, citing Netanyahu's failure to reveal his plans for postwar Gaza. Gantz also accused the prime minister of failing to prioritize negotiating the release of more than 100 hostages still held by Hamas-led militants in Gaza.

The leaders of Italy and Germany have strongly rejected ceasefire terms laid out by Vladimir Putin to stop the war in Ukraine, as scores of countries gathered at a two-day summit in Switzerland to discuss ending the conflict.

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the Russian president's plan "propaganda" which effectively suggested that Ukraine "must withdraw from Ukraine".

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz dismissed it as a "dictatorial peace".

A draft declaration issued at the summit reaffirms Ukraine's territorial integrity and unambiguously rejects any nuclear threat against the country.

The document, due to be formally adopted on Sunday, also states that the safe transit of commercial shipping in the Black and Azov Seas is vital for global food security.
