President Biden Urges Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Develop Strategy to Defeat Hamas
In a recent development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, President Biden has called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to create a clear plan to defeat the militant group operating in Gaza. This comes as tension in the region continues to escalate, with both sides engaging in fierce clashes.
Despite the urging from the US administration, Israeli leaders have expressed their intent to invade the city of Rafah in Gaza. However, the US has warned against such a move, citing humanitarian concerns and the potential for civilian casualties. UN experts have also cautioned of a looming famine in the territory if the situation worsens.
While the US reiterated its commitment to Israel’s security, it criticized Israel’s approach to the conflict. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer went as far as calling for new elections in Israel, describing Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace.
President Biden, on the other hand, indicated that he is not prepared to use US aid as leverage to pressure Israel to end its actions against Palestinians. This stance has drawn criticism from Palestinian rights advocates, who have called for conditions on aid to Israel. Despite this, the Biden administration supports a bill providing additional assistance to the country.
The strained relationship between Biden and Netanyahu has been a topic of discussion, with reports suggesting tension between the two leaders despite the US president’s backing of Israel. As the conflict continues to unfold, the world watches with bated breath to see what steps will be taken to address the escalating violence in the region.
