In New Delhi, Blinken said \u201cfar too many\u201d Palestinians have died in the conflict with Hamas, a US-designated terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed by Bash on whether Israel was doing everything possible to take civilian lives into consideration, Netanyahu insisted they were.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, yes, Dana and more than that, and more than that,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to minimize civilian casualties as a result of a ground action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the number of civilian casualties is actually being reduced because people are heeding our calls to leave the area, and defying Hamas\u2019s attempt to keep them there. And we\u2019ll do everything in our power to do that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The latest conflict in the region started after Hamas launched a surprise attack on the southern border of Israel, killing 1,400 civilians and taking about 240 hostages. Israel has responded with a barrage of airstrikes, killing more than 10,000 Palestinians, according to estimates from the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas and retrieve the hostages. Netanyahu reiterated his position on Sunday that there would be no ceasefire until the hostages were freed.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
