U.S. President Obama and EU Foreign Policy chief Ashton both expressed understanding, if not support, for Israel's operation in Gaza

So far, the world's leaders seem to be backing Israel's defensive action in Gaza. U.S. President Barack H. Obama and EU Foreign Policy chief Katherine Ashton both expressed understanding, if not support, for Israel's situation, and for the need to break the back of Hamas and other Gaza terror groups that have rained thousands of rockets over the heads of Israelis in the Negev for the past decade.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke to Obama early Thursday, in which “the President reiterated to Prime Minister Netanyahu the United States' support for Israel's right to self defense in light of the barrage of rocket attacks being launched from Gaza against Israeli civilians," a White House statement said. "The President urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to make every effort to avoid civilian casualties."
