Despite objections from foreign allies, including the United States, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared in a bold statement that Israel may continue conducting its military activities in Gaza. US President Joe Biden issued this statement in response to a warning about the possible repercussions of an Israeli offensive against Rafah in Gaza.
At a time when the condition in Gaza is getting worse, Netanyahu’s willingness to keep the unpleasant highlights a possible gap with one of its most important friends. The next significant population center to be under Jewish rule and the southern city in the Gaza Strip, Rafah has become a haven for Palestinians who have privately fled. According to reports, the burdened city, which is now home to far more people than its usual population, has experienced severe human rights violations as a result of the continuous military operations.
After Biden stated in an interview with CNN that” I’m not supplying the weapons that have previously been used to deal with Rafah, to deal with the places – that deal with that problem,” the tension grew even more. He emphasized that the US would continue to support Israel’s security abilities, particularly in the Middle East and its responses to attacks from the Middle East, despite Israel’s military operations avoiding entering community centers.
Despite this, Netanyahu remains decisive, drawing a horizontal to Israel’s historic problems during its 1948 fight for independence amidst an arms embargo. ” If we have to walk alone, we may walk alone. If we need to, we may struggle with our fingers. But we have much more than fingers”, Netanyahu asserted, emphasizing Israel’s resolve to protect its actions regardless of foreign forces.
US defence minister Lloyd Austin made further complicated by-information that the US had now stopped arms shipments to Israel last year, a move that was not made public until the Financial Times made it known. Significant weapons, including thousands of 2, 000-pound and 500-pound bombs, are on display at the hold, which represents a major change in US policy since the fight started last October.
