Amid heightened global concern over the Gaza conflict, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on December 14-15. Concurrently, Israel's Foreign Minister, Eli Cohen, reaffirms an unwavering commitment to continue the war against Hamas, dismissing international calls for a ceasefire. Despite President Biden's caution and a UN plea for humanitarian intervention, Cohen argues a ceasefire would empower Hamas. The conflict's toll on northern Gaza is dire, with over 18,000 Palestinian casualties and 80% of the population displaced. President Biden voices apprehension over waning global support, urging restraint.
