Israelis ‘struggling to understand’ what the world wants amid war with Hamas

Times of Israel’s Haviv Rettig Gur says Israelis are “struggling to understand” what the world wants amid Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza. This comes after Foreign Minister Penny Wong released a statement, declaring a planned ground offensive in Rafah would be “unjustifiable” and urged Israel to “not go down this path”. Israel is planning an operation into Rafah, a small city in the Gaza Strip, which currently shelters around 1.5 million displaced Palestinians. “And then the statement ends ‘and Hamas should removed from Gaza’ or something like that,” Mr Gur told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “And what frustrates Israelis with statements like that is that there’s never quite an explanation of how.”
