Israel informed US ahead of new Gaza strikes
Briefly

Israel notified the US before launching significant air strikes on Gaza that resulted in over 400 deaths, as reported by Gaza's Ministry of Health. This action shattered a ceasefire established earlier this year through diplomatic efforts by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu cited a lack of progress in ceasefire negotiations as grounds for the strikes. Hamas condemned the attacks as a rejection of the ceasefire, expressing concerns about escalating tensions. Netanyahu's strategy indicates a potential shift toward intensified conflict if negotiations fail.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Israel informed the US of the impending air raid on Gaza, highlighting the close coordination between the two nations.
The wave of bombing in Gaza, which killed over 400, ended the ceasefire brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, increasing tensions in the region.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu justified the strikes by referencing stagnation in negotiations for a ceasefire extension and has indicated a readiness for intense warfare.
Hamas perceives Israel's actions as a unilateral cancellation of the ceasefire, raising concerns for further escalations and violence in the region.
