The situation
The Israeli attack began a few hours after the meeting of Foreign Minister Marco Rubio with Netanyahu and senior members of his cabinet, while Rubio attended a tunnel ceremony under the Palestinian village of Silvan in the East Ierosiman Village.
“We have to remember who we are dealing with here, with a group of people who have dedicated their lives to violence and barbarism,” Rubio said in a briefing with Netanyahu.
“And when you face this harsh reality, no matter how much we want to have a peaceful, diplomatic way to finish, and we will continue to explore it and be dedicated to him, we must also be prepared for the possibility that this will not happen,” he said, “he said.”

“Rubio did not put a brake on the land operation,” said a senior Israeli official.
A US official said the Trump government is not going to stop Israel and allows him to take decisions on the Gaza war on his own. “It’s not Trump’s war, it’s Bibi’s war, and it will be responsible for what follows,” the US official said.

“The 710th night in Gaza can be the last in the life of hostages that barely survive, and the last night of the possibility of identifying and returning the fallen burial.
