The ruler of Qatar hit out at Israel’s backers Tuesday, charging they had given it “free license to kill” in its war with Hamas and questioning what the conflict would achieve.
Major powers, including the United States, Britain, and France, have rallied to support Israel and affirmed its right to defend itself after this month’s deadly attack by the Palestinian Islamist group. “We call for an earnest regional and international stance vis-a-vis this dangerous escalation that we are witnessing, and which threatens the security of the region and the world.”
The leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States have all visited Israel since the October 7 attack. UN human rights chief Volker Turk on Monday urged an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” for Gaza where about half of the population of 2.4 million has been driven from their homes.
“I want you to be sure that you’re not left alone in this war against terrorism,” Macron told Herzog. Hamas released them citing “compelling humanitarian” reasons, after mediation by Qatar and Egypt, but did not free their elderly husbands.Earlier in Washington, US President Joe Biden allowed for the possibility of a ceasefire if the others are freed, telling journalists that “we should have those hostages released and then we can talk.”
While the Israeli military has claimed success in “eliminating high-ranking commanders” and destroying Hamas infrastructure, humanitarian groups have said that Palestinian civilians are paying too high a price.
