People evacuated in northern Gaza on November 17.
In addition, Pope Francis on November 17 suggested that the international community should study whether Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip constitutes genocide against the Palestinian people. Israeli Ambassador to the Vatican Yaron Sideman rejected the accusation of genocide, affirming that Tel Aviv is only exercising its right to self-defense, fighting Hamas and protecting its citizens.

News of Hochstein's visit came after Israel on November 17 carried out an airstrike in central Beirut, killing Mohammed Afif al-Naboulsi, the main spokesman for Hezbollah.
