Washington: On Monday, the eighth day of the war between Israel and Palestine, US President Joe Biden during a phone conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. Supported the “ceasefire”. The White House explained this.
Biden’s move is an indication that the United States wants Israel’s hostility with Hamas to end. On Monday, the Biden administration distanced itself from the issue amid growing demands for an immediate cease-fire between the Hamas rulers of Israel and Gaza by Democrats and other members. The battle between Israel and Palestine reached its second week in which more than 200 people were killed. Most of these are Palestinian citizens in Gaza.
America is Israel’s top ally. The US stopped the unanimous statement of the 15-nation Joint Security Council for a third time, voicing the “serious concern” over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the deaths of civilians. Finally, after the US rejected Monday, the statement of the Security Council has been neutralized, at least for the moment.
White House press secretary Jane Saki and national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the US is instead focusing on “peace, deep diplomacy”. However, the appeal of other countries in the Israel-Palestine dispute does not seem to have any effect so far. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who visited the Nordic countries, said in Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, that calm America had tried to reduce hostilities in the Gaza Strip and Israel.
US Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas Greenfield, said at an emergency high-level meeting of the Security Council on Sunday that the United States is “tirelessly trying to prevent this fight.” However, the US has halted China, Norway, and Tunisia’s move to issue a statement by the Security Council and end the dispute. Blinken has sent deputy assistant Haidi Aamer to Israel to ease the crisis, who called on the authorities. However, Blinken has not announced any plans to travel to West Asia on his current tour.
