  "account": "Israelis gathered in a final protest in Tel Aviv ahead of Tuesday's election, urging for a commission of inquiry into security failures following the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza. Netanyahu has refused such an inquiry. The rally echoed the weekly ones that demanded the release of hostages taken into Gaza, though Netanyahu has been accused of delaying deals to free them sooner.\n\nMeanwhile, the death toll from Friday's attack on a church in Jordan rose to nine, with more than two dozen people receiving treatment in hospitals. Gunmen opened fire during a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, south of Jordan's capital, Amman. The Houthis blamed Saudi Arabia, which backs forces fighting the rebels.\n\nU.S. President Donald Trump weighed a possible attack on Iran or a deal, expressing uncertainty about Iran's willingness to hold a deal. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused Washington of disrupting negotiations to end the war, but said Iran still aims to see it \"finished.\"\n\nAnxiety has grown that the U.S. or Israel could resume attacks before or after Tuesday's elections in Israel or the U.S. midterm elections. In the West Bank, Israeli forces carried out arrests and demolitions in Hebron after two Palestinian gunmen killed two soldiers and wounded three others.\n\nDeath toll from the church attack in Jordan has risen to nine, with over two dozen receiving treatment in hospitals. Gunmen opened fire at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, north of Jordan's capital, Amman, where a minority Christian population resides.",
