Israel announced a full siege of the Gaza Strip as the war continued, and a 16-year blockade was imposed by Israel and Egypt became a full blockade after Hamas took at least 150 hostages.
At least 900 people have died including 11 Americans, and at least 687 Palestinians. More than 6,000 are reportedly injured.
A phrase heard in statements by politicians and organizations: “Stand With Israel.” This is salient as liberal and progressive American Jewish groups have grown increasingly critical of the Israeli government, both for its proposed judicial overhaul and for Israel’s treatment of Palestinians by far-right politicians from the governing coalition. POTUS statements expressed straightforward support for Israel.
