Closer ground operation now – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

Spokesman for the Israeli army (IDF) Jonathan Conricus spoke late Sunday evening with NTB via video chat from Israel. He says that the ground operation is closer now than a day ago. Conricus rejects that the international community can set a red line for the extent of civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip. – No one in the international community can set any red lines for Israel. We defend ourselves. We are waging a legal war against a terrorist group that attacked our civilians, says Conricus. The UN demands a humanitarian pause The UN and several international organizations have demanded a humanitarian pause and that the blockade, which means that people in Gaza have a critical lack of water, food and electricity, be lifted. The hospitals in Gaza only have power out on Monday, according to the UN.

But we will get the job done, says Conricus. Since the war between Hamas and Israel broke out on 7 October, more than 4,000 people have been killed in Israel, the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank. Most of the victims are civilians. Biden: – Certain that Israel will follow the rules of war – I am convinced that Israel will act under the rules of war. These are standards that democratic institutions and countries follow, said the US president in an interview with “60 Minutes” on Monday night. – And then I am sure that there will be an opportunity for the innocent in Gaza to get access to medicine, food and water, says Biden. Biden says he agrees that Hamas must be wiped out. – But that there must be a way to a Palestinian state, said Joe Biden. He believes it will be a big mistake if Israel goes for an occupation of the Gaza Strip. Biden also warned that the terrorist threat in the United States has increased as a result of the unrest in the Middle East.

On the night of Monday, there were also reports that Biden is planning a visit to Israel, but this has not been confirmed by the White House.
