An American official says talks with Israeli leaders continue as Gaza bombardment and raids have not ceased despite a UN resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.

“The Israelis saw that resolution, they didn’t like it. But I think there’s great and growing concern on the ground in Gaza, and there’s a lot of concern about a potential operation in Rafah,” Robert Wood, deputy ambassador to the UN, told Al Jazeera.

“We talk to them all the time about this and we’re going to continue to push to make sure this resolution is implemented by all sides,” Wood said.
