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."
