Biden Cautions Israel Against Major Gaza Missteps, U.S. Apprehensions of Broader Escalation, Egypt Condemns Collective Punishment
  • 6 months ago
Gaza has witnessed a substantial blaze following multiple air strikes by the Israeli military in recent hours, resulting in several casualties. Notably, two of these strikes targeted civil defense headquarters, leading to the loss of at least seven civil defense members, according to Al Jazeera. Hamas claims that due to Israeli bombardments, a quarter of Gaza's population has been displaced from their homes and is now homeless.

The Israeli Prime Minister's office has denied the existence of a ceasefire in southern Gaza, designed to facilitate the departure of foreign nationals through the Rafah border crossing. Meanwhile, the UN agency operating in Palestine has expressed its inability to provide assistance to the over two million people trapped in the Gaza Strip.

U.S. President Joe Biden has voiced concern over Israel's occupation of Gaza, warning of potential repercussions as Tel Aviv prepares for a ground offensive. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has stated that Israel's ongoing attacks on Gaza have surpassed its "right to self-defense."
