Avoiding deaths in Gaza

The United States calls on Israel to do everything to prevent deaths in Gaza. “Washington, in its previous interventions, has put pressure on Israel, because it has an interest in the country increasing airstrikes, but not carrying out a large-scale offensive, because this endangers the hostages, including understood American lives”, explains Etienne Dignat.
