Jerusalem—US Secretary of State Antony Blinken vowed on a visit to Israel Thursday that the United States will “always” back it but said the Palestinians also have “legitimate aspirations” not represented by militant group Hamas.
Israel has levelled entire city blocks in Gaza and destroyed thousands of buildings, while Hamas has now fired more than 5,000 rockets at Israel, the army said. Blinken, speaking in personal terms, said that “I come before you not only as the United States secretary of state but also as a Jew” and “a husband and father of young children”.
“The human misery caused by this escalation is abhorrent,” said the International Committee of the Red Cross Middle East chief Fabrizio Carboni, who stressed hospitals without electricity “risk turning into morgues”. “You shouldn’t do what your enemy wants you to do,” he said, arguing the inevitable loss of innocent life would further drive radicalisation and regional sentiment against Israel and its allies. AFP Israel has called up 300,000 reservists and rushed forces, tanks and heavy armour to the southern desert areas around Gaza from where Hamas launched their unprecedented attack on October 7.
Hamas has threatened to kill hostages if Israel bombs Gaza civilian targets without advance warning — deepening the anger and fear in shell-shocked Israel.
