On the other hand, the Huffington Post website quoted a US official as saying that US intelligence estimates that the Israeli military is continuing to operate at the same pace and showing limited concern for civilians despite repeated US calls for restraint.
The official said he doubted the current Israeli military offensive would be bloodier than Israel’s assault on the northern Gaza Strip in the first phase of its occupation of Gaza.
Citing a US State Department official that the Israeli military is waging a “campaign of ethnic cleansing” in Gaza, a US diplomat said Washington was angry at how it had “literally” tarnished Netanyahu’s reputation. America to advance its own political agenda.

The organization aims to establish a new independent state that includes the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem.
Shtayeh said that the Palestinians should not be divided and that Israel’s goal of completely eliminating Hamas is unrealistic, and that there is room for negotiation if Hamas is willing to accept the PLO’s political approach and reach an agreement.
