The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, criticizes the impact of the Israel-Hamas conflict, stating it is "greater than a disaster" and comparing it to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. He condemns Israeli strikes, claiming the current situation is the "ugliest" for Palestinians. Abbas criticizes the US for supporting Israel and suggests a UN resolution for an immediate ceasefire. Despite Israeli statements, Abbas emphasizes the need for a Palestinian state post-war. The death toll rises, with Abbas questioning the logic of Israeli military actions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserts the war is ongoing, while his senior adviser Mark Regev states Hamas "must be destroyed."
