VIVAnews - U.S. President Barack Obama insisted that his country would continue to support Israel in its war against Hamas. According to him, Israel is currently defend against missile attacks from Gaza.
"We fully support the right of Israel to defend itself from missiles that landed in homes and workplaces, with the potential to kill civilians. No country tolerate missiles raining citizens," Obama said at a press conference in Bangkok, reported Business News, Sunday, November 18, 2012.
Obama's comments in Bangkok issued a few hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet that they would expand the offensive into Gaza. Israeli tanks are now poised on the border, more than 70 thousand Zionist army ready to be lowered.
If Israel committed in the Gaza invasion, it is feared the death toll will fall more. The worst attacks occurred in the 2008-2009 Israel that killed 1100 Gazans.
Israel bombards Gaza since Wednesday, 72 people had been killed. In the attack yesterday, Israeli missiles killed 26 people, 14 of whom are women and children. Israel argues, Pilar Defense Operations currently they do is to stop Palestinian rocket attacks that have killed three Israelis.
Currently, Turkey and Egypt are working hard to stop attacking each other and hold truce. Asked about the Israeli military invasion of Gaza, Obama said it would be better if Israel can prevent the missile landed on its territory rather than lose soldiers.
"This is not only better for the people of Gaza, but also for the citizens of Israel," Obama said. (eh)
