The Israeli offensive on Gaza Strip entered its second week on Tuesday, despite US and global diplomacy efforts to stop the bloodiest round of fighting between the sides since 2014.
The Israeli military said on Monday that it was fighting a “war of attrition” in Gaza and that a ground invasion remains possible.
While US President Joe Biden expressed his support on Monday for a ceasefire, telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington seeks an end to hostilities, the White House has approved the potential sale of $735 million in precision-guided weapons to Israel. Sources in Congress told Reuters news agency that the plan faced no objection from politicians.
