Several Arab nations, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, are demanding that Hamas lay down its arms and agree to a two-state solution as the terror group's war with Israel rages.

The entire Arab League, the European Union and 17 other countries backed the "New York Declaration" Tuesday, during a conference co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.
