Though this situation continues to escalate, the US has stood firm in its role as a mediator. Israel has every right to respond to the daily terror attacks it has seen since Oct. 7, 2023. However, it's in no one's interest for tensions to explode into a wider regional war. The US will continue to work toward regional stability.

The New York Times

Hamas continues using Gaza's civilian population as human shields, and Hamas is solely to blame for the destruction of Gaza and its impact on the civilian population. It started this terrible war with the massacres of Oct. 7, 2023, so Israel is within its rights to continue pacifying the group and confronting its regional enemies.

The Jerusalem Post

Israel's goal in northern Gaza is to starve and exterminate the civilian population so that the region is never inhabited by Palestinians again. Israeli politicians and military officials have been clear about the country's genocidal goals, yet the media and the US government continuescontinue to ignore these horrifying ambitions.
