Israel Hamas War: 'Israel can take its own decisions', Biden blunt about the ground attack on Gaza

Posted on 25th Oct 2023 by rohit kumar

It has been more than two weeks since the conflict between Israel and Hamas started. The death toll in the attacks has crossed seven thousand. Instead of stopping, the conflict is becoming more intense. Israel is also ready to launch a ground attack on Gaza. Meanwhile, many countries are continuously advising against attacks. In such a situation, US President Joe Biden has made it clear that Israel can make its own decisions.

 

so many people died

On October 7, Hamas terrorists suddenly attacked Israel. Due to this, while 1400 people have lost their lives in the Hamas attack in Israel, the death toll due to Israel's retaliatory action on the Gaza Strip has so far crossed 5800.

 

American President bluntly

Biden was posing for a photo with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Tuesday. During this, he was asked a question, 'Are you urging Israel to delay its ground attack?' On this, the US President said that Israel can make its own decisions.

 

Three-phase attack plan

Last week, Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Galant laid out the Jewish state's plan to replace the security regime in Gaza, which would mean ousting Hamas, and said the plan was drawn up in three phases. Gallant said the Israeli Defense Forces (IFD) was in the first phase of planning when it carried out the airstrikes. He said that after this there will be ground infiltration and ultimately there will be a change in the security system in Gaza.

 

attempt to rescue hostages

John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council at the White House, told reporters that the US would continue to ensure Israel has the equipment and capabilities it needs to defend itself. We are going to continue our efforts to get the hostages and people out of Gaza in a proper manner.

 

“A ceasefire right now will only benefit Hamas,” he said. “We will continue to talk to our Israeli counterparts about the importance of avoiding and minimizing civilian casualties, respecting innocent lives, and trying to prevent further harm to Hamas’ legitimate targets.”

 

This is going to be messy...

'It's war, it's fighting, it's bloody, it's nasty and it's going to be messy,' Kirby said. Innocent civilians will be hurt to move forward. I wish I could tell you something different. He said in response to a question, 'I wish it was not going to happen, but it is going to happen. This is not correct. This cannot be ruled out. However, that doesn't mean we're not still expressing concerns about it. We will do everything we can to help the Israelis mitigate this, but unfortunately, that is the nature of the conflict.
