Meanwhile, Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz suggested a looming ground invasion, saying Israel "will have to take over Gaza temporarily, for a few weeks."
In related news, protests and Palestinian solidarity rallies are popping up around the world. In New York City, thousands of people protested in front of the Israeli Mission to the United Nations before marching through the streets. Even in Tel Aviv, a group of Israeli peace activists staged a rally in the Israeli capital calling for an end to the aggressions against Palestinians.
