Oil prices rise after Gaza deaths heighten tensions

Oil futures rose Friday after a strike by Israeli forces a day earlier was said to have killed more than 100 Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza. President Joe Biden said the deaths would complicate talks around a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, according to news reports. Biden had said earlier this week that he had seen prospects for an agreement as early as Monday.
