Israeli president visits Gaza as army chief signals offensive at ‘pivotal point’

Al Jazeera's Hamdah Salhut reports from Amman, Jordan. Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned in Israel and the occupied West Bank.

She says that the Israeli prime minister and his defence minister have made multiple visits to Gaza throughout the course of the war but this is the first time Isaac Herzog, the Israeli president, has gone inside the Gaza Strip to meet Israeli troops there. Salhut adds that what Herzog was telling soldiers there is that Israel is acting in accordance with international law and distributing aid in accordance with those same international norms.
