Hamas Claims New Ambush, Russia Slams Gaza Flattening, Israel Vows War With or Without Int'l Support

Israel’s foreign minister says the army will continue its war against Hamas in Gaza “with or without international support.” Eli Cohen added that agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza “at the current stage is a gift to the terrorist organisation Hamas.” Cohen also called on the international community to act “effectively and aggressively” to protect global shipping lanes.The remarks come after the Iran-backed Houthi militias launched a series of new attacks against Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden said Israel was starting to lose support due to "indiscriminate bombing" in Gaza.
