NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stressed on Thursday that the intergovernmental military alliance supports Israel amid the war against Hamas.
During a virtual meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, he mentioned that "Israel does not stand alone" and urged Hamas to liberate all hostages as well as protect civilians in the area of the attacks.
Also, he emphasized that Israel "has the right to defend itself with proportionality against these unjustifiable acts of terror."
