Amid Growing Criticism, US Defends Support of Israel’s Military Operation in Gaza
The United States has come under increasing criticism for its continued support of Israel’s military operation in Gaza, but the US government has defended its stance and reiterated the importance of protecting Palestinian civilians.
The US has been a long-time ally of Israel, and has provided the country with military and financial aid for decades. However, the US has come under fire for its support of Israel’s recent military operations in Gaza, which have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians, including many civilians.
In response to the criticism, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement Sunday that the US is “deeply concerned about the loss of civilian life in Gaza and the suffering of the Palestinian people.” He also said that the US is “working to ensure that the needs of the Palestinian people are met and that the security of the Israeli people is preserved.”
Blinken also said that the US is “working with the international community to bring an end to the violence and to achieve a sustainable ceasefire.” He added that the US is “committed to a two-state solution that ensures the security of Israel and the dignity of the Palestinian people.”
The US has also been criticized for its support of Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has been in place since 2007. The blockade has been widely condemned by human rights groups, who argue that it has caused a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
In response to the criticism, Blinken said that the US is “working to ensure that the needs of the Palestinian people are met and that the security of the Israeli people is preserved.” He also said that the US is “working to ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches those in need in Gaza.”
