Israel has continued to assert its military retaliation is an attempt to rescue around 240 hostages taken by Hamas, which the Palestinian military group took as leverage in negotiations for a prisoner release deal.
Norcross’ brother, Donald Norcross, was one of the first U.S. representatives to visit Israel after the Hamas attacks.
“This wasn’t in the course of a battle between armies,” he told the Philly Voice at the time. “This was an attack on men, women and children—babies. It’s just unfathomable what has occurred there.”
A number of countries have recalled their ambassadors to Israel over its attack on Gaza, including Turkey, which became the first North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to do so.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said the move was in light of “the unfolding humanitarian tragedy in Gaza caused by the continuing attacks by Israel against civilians, and Israel’s refusal of calls for ceasefire and continuous and unhindered flow of humanitarian aid.”
Other countries to have cut diplomatic ties include Bolivia, Honduras, Bahrain, Chile, Colombia and Jordan.
