The Jewish state kept options open for a possible ground offensive into densely populated Gaza despite international pressure to negotiate a ceasefire in the conflict, which has killed 125 people in the Islamist-ruled enclave since Tuesday.

"The World Cup allowed people from different countries and religions to come together. May sport always promote the culture of encounter," Francis said in tweets in several languages including Latin from his @pontifex account. The Vatican has said Francis "might" watch the match although it has ruled out the possibility that he could sit down with his German predecessor Benedict XVI, known to be more fond of theology and piano music than sports.
