The United States has publicly blessed reprisals by Israel, which on Friday called for the immediate relocation of 1.1 million people in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, which is already under an Israeli blockade. Israel has killed more than 1,400 people in strikes in the Gaza Strip since the Hamas attack and has cut off food, water and electricity. Qatar, where Blinken will head immediately after Jordan, has longstanding ties with Hamas and has been seen as an intermediary in freeing the hostages. «We'll continue pressing countries to help prevent the conflict from spreading, and to use their leverage with Hamas to immediately and unconditionally release the hostages,» Blinken said late Thursday in Tel Aviv. «We'll also discuss how we can continue to make real our affirmative vision for a region that's more peaceful, more prosperous, more secure, more integrated. »In fact, that is the choice, and the choice in some ways has been made even more stark by the actions of Hamas." Saudi Arabia in the weeks before the attacks had spoken of progress in US-led diplomacy to normalise relations with Israel — a landmark step for the

Hamas, Al-Qassam Brigades, described Saturday's surprise assault on Israel as an operation «in defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque,» invoking a dispute around a site that is sacred to both Muslims and Jews and that is among the most deeply contested in the holy land. The mosque sits in a 35-acre site that is considered the holiest in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam. Muslims call the site — which also includes the Dome of the Rock shrine — Haram al-Sharif, or the Noble Sanctuary. According to Islamic scripture, the Prophet Muhammad traveled from Mecca to the mosque in one night to pray, and then ascended to heaven. Jews call the site the Temple Mount, because it was the location of two ancient temples that were destroyed. Israel captured East Jerusalem and the Old City, which contains the site, during the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, then annexed it, but most countries consider it to be occupied territory. The mosque is administered by the Waqf, a trust controlled by Jordan, under a status quo agreement. Israeli security forces maintain a presence on the site, and Jews and Christians can visit, but for years they were prevented from praying on the site to prevent clashes. More recently, Israeli police have quietly allowed Jews to pray there.

Hamas attack targeting Israel and the retaliation that followed, but others blamed Israel itself and some celebrated the surprise assault. The early morning Hamas offensive by air, land and sea was met by Israeli air strikes on the blockaded coastal enclave, in the bloodiest escalation since May 2021. «We are at war,» Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, promising that «the enemy will pay an unprecedented price». Here is a roundup of reactions from the region: — Egypt - The foreign ministry appealed to «both the Palestinian and Israeli sides to exercise the utmost restraint», warning of the «dire danger of ongoing escalation». Cairo has historically been a key mediator in conflicts between the two sides. Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry made a series of calls to regional and international leaders, including his Jordanian, UAE, Turkish, German and French counterparts, and to European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. A foreign ministry statement said Shoukry sought to rally «international actors» to «intervene immediately». — Jordan - Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned of the «volatility» of the situation, «particularly in light of what cities and areas of the West Bank are witnessing of Israeli attacks and violations against the Palestinian people». The Hamas assault follows months of surging violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with fatalities in the occupied West Bank reaching a scale not seen in years. Jordan and Egypt were the first two countries in the region to agree peace deals with Israel. — UAE - The United Arab Emirates called for «an immediate ceasefire» and «exercising the utmost restraint,» state news agency WAM reported. «The UAE has expressed its sincere
