In a daily update, spokesman Jonathan Conricus said in a broadcast on X early Wednesday that he hoped international support for Israel would continue, ahead of an expected ground offensive into Gaza Strip, which is run by Hamas.
“We hope that remains that way even when the fighting will intensify and the scenes coming out of the Gaza Strip will be more difficult to understand and cope with,” he said.
