The U.N. relief agency UNRWA said a strike hit one of its schools sheltering thousands of families in the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza on Saturday.
AMMAN, Jordan — U.S. and Arab leaders clashed Saturday over whether Israel should halt its offensive in Gaza while regional leaders said the heavy Palestinian civilian death toll was going to radicalize a generation and crossed the line from self-defense into war crimes. In a day of meetings in Amman with senior Arab leaders from the Mideast, Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended what he said was Israel’s need to eliminate Hamas as a security threat to its citizens.
Blinken described his own pain when he saw Palestinian children suffering in rubble — but he also said that if Israel agreed to the cease-fire for which the foreign ministers were asking, it would abdicate its responsibilities to its own citizens by leaving Hamas with the ability to perpetrate more attacks. “It’s our view that a cease-fire now would simply leave Hamas in place, able to regroup and repeat what it did on October 7th,” Blinken said.
