TEL AVIV, Israel–US President Joe Biden will visit Israel Wednesday in a show of"ironclad" support as Washington tries to prevent the escalating war against Hamas in Gaza from spilling over into a wider Middle East conflict.
Israel army spokesman Jonathan Conricus said Tuesday that its forces"will commence the enhanced military activities when the timing suits the goal". Washington has already sent two aircraft carrier strike groups to the eastern Mediterranean"to deter hostile actions against Israel". At least 2,750 Palestinians -- mostly civilians -- have been killed, entire neighbourhoods have been razed and survivors are left with dwindling supplies of food, water and fuel.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says more than one million Palestinians -- almost half of Gaza's population of 2.4 million -- have fled their homes.
