Israel has achieved all that it can militarily in Gaza, according to senior American officials, who say continued bombings are only increasing risks to civilians while the possibility of further weakening Hamas has diminished.

Israel’s government wants to kill every person living in Gaza, it’s not that they are OK with it, it’s the whole point.
