US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warns that failure to safeguard civilians in Gaza could lead to a generational backlash and an increase in anti-Israel insurgents. Austin emphasizes the need for Israel to address the humanitarian needs of civilians and be more precise in military operations against Hamas to limit civilian casualties. He states that failure to do so will create a generation of Palestinians resistant to cooperating with Israel. The United States has demanded concrete measures to address the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza or face potential restrictions on US military aid.
