America’s foremost military officer this week said he views continued fighting in the Middle East between Israel and Palestinians to present a risk of destabilization and other negative repercussions.

Army Gen. Mark Milley, the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, said that Israel was acting in self-defense when it launched rockets at the Gaza Strip but alleged it was “in no one’s interest to continue fighting.”
