The international community has been rocked with armed conflicts, with the superpowers bombing one another in the quest to dominate.

About two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine commenced, the world experienced another attack by Israel against the people of Gaza following an attack from the radical group Hamas on Israeli territory on Saturday, October 7.

Why Israel is attacking Palestine

The Hamas attack has led to the death of 1,4000, and about 230 have been kidnapped, BBC Pidgin reported.

In reprisal attacks, Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip since the invasion, and the number of civilian casualties has gotten to 9000 as of Thursday, November 9, according to Palestinian authorities.

However, different countries of the world have taken the position to support either Israel or condemn the actions of Hamas.

US expresses commitment to Israel's cause

The United States has expressed commitment to the people of Israel, adding that its support for Israel's security would remain solid.

Following the incident on October 7, US President Joe Biden confirmed the US superpower position as the main political, economic and military ally of Israel.
