Israel has since struck Gaza from the air, imposed a siege and launched a ground assault, stirring global alarm at humanitarian conditions in the enclave and, Gaza health officials said on Saturday, killing more than 9,488 Palestinians. «Right now we have to make sure that this war stops,» Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told the news conference.
