Part 5/15:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reinforced a hardline stance, asserting that no terror leaders would enjoy immunity any longer, vowing to eliminate any safe havens for Hamas. Conversely, the Biden administration expressed reservations about Israel’s unilateral action, with White House spokesman Caroline Levit emphasizing that such moves could undermine regional stability and Qatar’s peace efforts. The global diplomatic community widely condemned the strike, with leaders from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, France, and the UN criticising the operation.
