At least 25 U.S. citizens are confirmed to have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a news conference on Thursday morning.
Also participating in the meeting were Foreign Affairs Minister Eli Cohen, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, the prime minister's chief of staff, the director of the National Security Council, the prime minister's military secretary, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. and the prime minister's foreign policy adviser. Among those attending for the American side were the acting U.S.
As Israel pounds Gaza from the air, Hamas fighters have fired thousands of rockets into Israel since their weekend assault. Militants in the territory are also holding an estimated 150 people taken hostage from Israel. "As Gaza loses power, hospitals lose power, putting newborns in incubators and elderly patients on oxygen at risk. Kidney dialysis stops, and X-rays can't be taken," said Fabrizio Carboni, ICRC's regional director. "Without electricity, hospitals risk turning into morgues."
The U.S. has pledged unwavering support, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Tel Aviv on Thursday to meet with Israeli leaders. He plans to meet Friday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose authority is confined to the occupied West Bank, and Jordan's King Abdullah II. "Right now we are focused on taking out their senior leadership," Hecht, the military spokesman, said of Hamas. "Not only the military leadership, but also the governmental leadership, all the way up to Sinwar."
Even with the warnings, Palestinians say some are unable to escape or have nowhere to go, and that entire families have been crushed under rubble."There was no warning or anything," said Hashem Abu Manea, 58, who lost his 15-year-old daughter, Joanna, when a strike late Tuesday leveled his home in Gaza City.
