As a UN delegation visits northern Gaza to assess the effects of the war, Israeli officials fear unflattering reports on the vast destruction there could have a detrimental effect on its war effort, Channel 12 news reports.
The network’s reporter Nir Dvori speaks of a US team but likely misspoke. Israel approved the UN team’s visit after American pressure. It toured southern Israel in recent days to see the results of Hamas’s deadly attacks on October 7 before entering Gaza to view the conditions there.
