The organization representing Flemish-speaking Jews criticized the Belgian prime minister’s allegation that Israel is using disproportionate violence in Gaza.
The umbrella group representing British Jews urged the country’s government to do everything in its power to secure the release of Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier who may have been born in the United Kindgom and is believed to be captured by Hamas.
Obama administration officials called Hamas’ apparent capture of an Israeli soldier in the hours a cease-fire was supposed to be in effect “barbaric” and “outrageous.”
