That lofty principle has clashed with the stark reality of the Israel-Hamas war. Hamas militants who crossed the border killed about 1,200 people and took about 250 hostage. Israel’s drive to root out Hamas has killed more than 35,000 people in Gaza, according to the local health ministry, and left millions on the edge of famine.

An Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in central Gaza has killed at least 35 people, including seven children, according to hospital officials. Meanwhile, Israeli war cabinet divisions are spilling into the open.
