Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will have “overall security responsibility” in Gaza “for an indefinite period” after its war with Hamas and expressed openness to “little pauses” in the current fighting to facilitate the release of hostages.His comments, in an interview that aired late Monday on ABC News, offered the clearest indication yet that Israel plans to maintain control over the territory that is home to some 2.3 million Palestinians.Netanyahu ruled out any general cease-fire without the release of the more than 240 captives seized by Hamas in its Oct. 7 raid into Israel, but he said he was open to “tactical little pauses.” U.S. President Joe Biden had raised the need for humanitarian pauses directly with Netanyahu on a call earlier Monday, but no agreement was reached, the White House said.The Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas war surpassed 10,000, including more than 4,100 children and 2,640 women, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in...

FORT COLLINS — Transfer Joel Scott dazzled in his Colorado State debut and Isaiah Stevens got hot in the second half as the Rams rallied in the final 13 minutes for an 81-73 victory over Louisiana Tech in their season opener Monday night at Moby Arena.Despite trailing for almost the entire first half and then by as many as 11 in the second half, the Rams found their stroke down the stretch, going on a 15-1 run during a four-and-a-half-minute span to retake the lead and then hold off the Bulldogs as the clock wound down.“Good way to find a way to win here,” CSU head coach Niko Medved said. “Give Louisiana Tech a lot of credit. I thought they came in and really made the game choppy. I thought the first time the lights came on, we were a little out of sorts, a little nervous, a little out of character.“I thought we dug in. We made a few adjustments and found a way to get out of here with a hard-fought win.”Scott finished with 18 points in his first game for the Rams. He was one of four...
