The US Secretary of State met with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning as the US pushes for pauses in the fighting to allow for hostages to be released and humanitarian relief to get into Gaza since the Palestinian Health Minister says more than 9,200 have been killed by the Occupier Israeli army, American media reports.
According to the report, the US military is flying unarmed drone flights over Gaza to help with hostage recovery, the Pentagon confirmed.
Israel continues to bombard the densely populated Palestinian enclave but is also pushing forward with its ground assault against Hamas and claims to have encircled Gaza City in the north, the report added.
