US Criticizes Israel on Gaza Civilian Toll as UN to Hear Ceasefire Demand
The US has criticized Israel for the significant civilian casualties in Gaza, highlighting the need for stronger civilian protection measures. Despite Israel’s defense strategy to neutralize Hamas, the US, represented by Antony Blinken, emphasizes the urgency to reconcile military actions with the safeguarding of civilian lives, amid growing humanitarian concerns. The surge in violence has prompted action beyond bilateral talks, with the United Arab Emirates requesting a U.N. Security Council vote on a draft resolution for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
