It is reported that the United States expressed concern over the actions of Hamas, which chose the path of war, rejecting the release of hostages. In response, Israel carried out significant strikes on the Gaza sector and stated its intention to continue military actions until all detained persons are freed. "Hamas could have released the hostages to extend the truce, but instead, it chose war," said the representative of the American National Security Council, Brian Huse. At the same time, the representative of the U.S. State Department noted that "Hamas bears full responsibility for the war and the resumption of hostilities." "They could have spared every victim if Hamas had agreed to the proposal," he added, referring to a proposal made by the American envoy to the Middle East, Steven Huttkoff, during the past week. Israel stated on Tuesday that the strikes carried out in the Gaza sector were committed "in full cooperation" with its allies, the United States. These attacks resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people and have been unprecedented in intensity and scale since the start of the truce with Hamas in January.
