U.S. officials said they negotiated a temporary opening at the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt for American citizens seeking to flee. The U.N. says Gaza is running out of clean water.
JERUSALEM — At a Saturday news conference, Israeli national security adviser Tzachi Hanegbi became the first government official for Israel to give a news briefing since the war began eight days ago. Hanegbi said that while neither he nor Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu take responsibility for the counterstrikes, or would apologize, the official acknowledged that he “clearly made a mistake” in saying before the war that “Hamas is deterred.
Hanegbi’s news conference comes shortly before an expected ground assault in Gaza. Netanyahu, who has yet address the public since the start of the war, visited soldiers on the Gaza border, according to a video released Saturday. The Israeli official declined to tell reporters how many Israeli hostages there were, but acknowledged that the estimated range between 150 to 200 hostages “appears to be correct.” But he vowed that Israel would defeat Hamas.
