Former U.S. President Barack Obama issued a rare statement warning Israel against causing civilian casualties in its military operations in Gaza. Obama said killing thousands of Palestinians, including children, forcing hundreds of thousands from homes, and cutting off basic needs could worsen humanitarian crisis, harden Palestinian attitudes for generations, erode global support for Israel, and undermine long-term peace efforts. Though condemning Hamas attacks and supporting Israel's right to defend itself, Obama said any strategy ignoring human costs in Gaza could backfire on Israel.
