Rising fears that Israel's war with Hamas will spread. 

The death toll has now reached more than 1,400 in Israel, with more than 2,700 deaths in Gaza. 

China says Israel has gone beyond self-defence, while the US says occupying the Gaza Strip would be a mistake.

He's confident the US is pressuring against a deterioration of the situation, while supporting Israel's efforts.
