Amidst the escalating Israel-Hamas conflict, US President Joe Biden emphasized the need for a "path to a Palestinian state" while urging the destruction of Gaza-based Hamas. He warned against Israel re-occupying Gaza, calling it a "big mistake." Israeli forces, backed by US warships, positioned along Gaza's border, preparing for a broad campaign against Hamas. Despite week-long airstrikes demolishing neighborhoods, militant rocket fire persists. The conflict's tenth day saw fresh airstrikes in Gaza, with casualties reported near al-Quds Hospital. The Gaza health ministry revealed 2,670 Palestinians killed and 9,600 wounded, marking the deadliest of the five Gaza wars for both sides.
