World leaders from the U.S., Europe and India condemned the attacks, while countries across the Muslim world took more nebulous positions and others blamed Israel for the Hamas attack.
World leaders have made statements of support for Israel in the face of the Hamas rocket attacks and incursion Saturday, stressing the country’s right to defend itself. But some regional officials have taken a stance that Israel invited this attack due its treatment of the Palestinian people. In a video message early Saturday morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, 'Citizens of Israel, we are at war — not in an operation, not in rounds — at war.
' ISRAEL'S MILITARY SAYS FORCE IS ‘AT WAR’ WITH HAMAS AS IDF HITS BACK AT TERROR TARGETS Some countries, including Egypt and Morocco, took more nebulous stances and merely condemned 'violence against civilians wherever they may be' while stressing a concern of the 'deteriorating situation.' Some, like Turkey, only asked for 'restraint from all parties' without condemning either side.
