The Israeli Ministry of Defense stated on Thursday that U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told Israel to 'continue to the end.' This remark came amid escalating conflict between Israel and Palestinian groups. Israeli forces continue their operation in the Gaza Strip, while the international community calls for a ceasefire. The U.S., as a key ally of Israel, has affirmed its support for Israel's right to self-defense. However, many countries and organizations are concerned about the humanitarian situation in the region.
