The US has also sent additional military support to Israel and has proposed to send $US14 billion for emergency military aid to Israel.

"When this crisis is over, there has to be a vision of what comes next. And in our view, it has to be a two-state solution," he said. Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas completely, which leaves a lot of questions around who will rule in Gaza once this war ends.How has the role of digital and social media influenced the public's perception of this conflict, and what challenges does it pose for accurate reporting?Such a good question because misinformation is a really big issue in this conflict.
As reporters, we have to sort the fact from fiction, or propaganda. We have a lot of ways we do this — I can't go into them all here, but it's a major part of our job.

The simple fact is there aren't a lot of places for Palestinians in Gaza to go. Gaza is blockaded on all three of its border crossings — by Israel in the north and east, and Egypt on the south.
In short, Catherine's correct.
