An Israeli missile strike in Gaza has killed three sons and four grandchildren of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh. He said their deaths would not influence Hamas’ position in cease-fire talks with Israel. U.S. President Joe Biden urged Hamas militants on Wednesday to accept the latest proposal for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of some hostages held by Hamas. World Athletics has become the first sport to offer prize money to Olympic champions, announcing on Wednesday that the 48 gold medalists in Paris this year will earn $50,000 each to end a 128-year tradition.
