Hamasâs decision did not appear to bode well for a breakthrough, but it did not mean the group had completely left the bargaining table. Netanyahu rejected accusations that he is stonewalling and has consistently blamed the deadlock on Hamas. He said Israel will send delegates to the talks anyway.

A destroyed Russian border post in the area now controlled by Ukrainian forces. Â David Guttenfelder for The New York Times
On the ground after Ukraineâs incursion Our Kyiv bureau chief, Andrew Kramer, and photographer David Guttenfelder visited a border crossing point in the Kursk region of Russia, one of the areas that Ukrainian forces invaded last week. The offensive is now heading into a second week, a remarkable turn in the war. The now-obliterated border post, despite a few sandbagged gun emplacements, had clearly been unprepared for the tank and artillery assault. Ukrainian armored vehicles rumbled by and the flow of men and weaponry carried on, days after Russian officials declared that the attack had been rebuffed.

Democrats hope that support for abortion rights will drive turnout in their favor. Ross D. Franklin/Associated Press
Abortion takes the stage in the U.S. election Arizona voters will decide in November on a measure to establish a right to abortion in the state Constitution. The measure could strongly influence turnout in the battleground state, which is critical to the presidential election as well as control of the Senate. Similar measures on abortion rights are already on the November ballot in six other states, but Nevada is the only other battleground state.

Some readers swoon for a 481-year age difference Disappointed by swipe culture and, perhaps, reality, some readers pine for the much older male characters (seriously, think ancient) of romantasy novels, a subgenre that combines fantasy and romance. The novels have garnered a huge fan base, and many of the male love interests are vampires, faeries, gods or angels. They can be centuries old internally, but externally, theyâre always young-presenting and, well, hot. But among fans, there has been a recurring point of debate: Is it acceptable for a 19-year-old to date a 500-year-old? Some say itâs [not only acceptable â itâs also aspirational.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRonk7wP4QCAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDgvMTMvc3R5bGUvc2hhZG93LWRhZGRpZXMtcm9tYW50YXN5LW5vdmVscy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDI0MDgxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzE2MzAmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTc1MDY1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmu_DJu2aMwHPqUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) RECOMMENDATIONS [A serving spoon is scooped into a bowl of macaroni salad, dotted green with chopped celery, scallions and parsley.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRonk7wP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vY29va2luZy5ueXRpbWVzLmNvbS9yZWNpcGVzLzEwMjEwOTUtbWFjYXJvbmktc2FsYWQtd2l0aC1sZW1vbi1hbmQtaGVyYnM_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjQwODEzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzMTYzMCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzUwNjUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCma78Mm7ZozAc-pSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~)
