Washington has outlined specific expectations for Israel, such as protecting civilian lives.
Hamas continues to fight for survival and challenges Israel with rockets. Meanwhile, Israel, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is trying to destroy Hamas and ensure that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israeli residents.

As the BBC writes, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made several visits to the region, emphasizing America’s support for Israel’s right to self-defense while urging compliance with international humanitarian law.
Blinken outlined specific expectations for Israel, such as protecting civilian lives, preventing significant human displacement and minimizing damage to Gaza’s critical infrastructure. He also stressed the importance of allowing displaced citizens to return to their homes.
The next phase of Israel’s offensive will focus on the southern Gaza Strip, attacking Hamas infrastructure and leaders believed to be hiding in civilian areas. This raises concerns about the possible occurrence of a large number of civilian casualties and a new refugee crisis in Palestine.
Israeli forces have attacked more than fifty Hamas targets in the southern Gaza town of Khan Yunis, as well as in the north of the enclave. The army says more than 400 targets have been hit in Gaza since hostilities resumed two days ago.
In the US, domestic political dynamics remain very complex and President Biden is highlighted as finding it difficult to balance support for Israel with criticism from the progressive wing of his own party.
Overall, the situation in Gaza remains unstable as Hamas maintains its position and the possibility of escalating violence affects both Palestinians and Israelis. The future of the region remains uncertain, burdened by the ongoing conflict and its humanitarian consequences.
