Reacting to US President Netanyahu’s comments to Bild Welt TV and Politico: “If you He said that I am pursuing my own policies that go against the majority against the wishes of the majority of Israelis and that this is harming Israel’s interests, then he is wrong in both assertions”.< /p>
Earlier, Mr. Biden said that Mr. Netanyahu made a “big mistake” by not doing enough to protect civilians and that failure “is harming instead of helping Israel.”
“He has the right to protect Israel and the right to continue to eliminate Hamas” President Biden said about Mr. Netanyahu when answering MSNBC on March 9.
“But he must pay more attention to the innocent people who are losing their lives as a result of the actions that have been taken. In my opinion he is causing damage instead of helping Israel… going against Israel’s values. And I think that’s a big mistake.”
“We cannot let another 30,000 Palestinians die,” Mr. Biden said, referring to the number given by health authorities in Gaza.
However, Mr. Netanyahu said on March 10 that his policy was supported by the “vast majority” of Israelis.
“They support the actions we are taking to eliminate destroy the remaining terrorist battalions of Hamas,” the Israeli Prime Minister said, referring to the plan to attack on the ground on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.
The plan to attack Rafah has been criticized by many countries. Because of the fear of causing mass casualties among civilians, about 15 million people fled to this city located at the southern tip of Gaza to avoid fighting elsewhere.
Washington has tried to push all sides to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza and release hostages before the start of Ramadan, but negotiations remained deadlocked.
