The Israel-Hamas war has now entered its third month. Along with this, America, which was supporting Israel with money and power, has now changed its stand.
US President Joe Biden has advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop attacks on Gaza and accept a two-nation solution on Palestine.
The US President said on Tuesday he has warned Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of Gaza is now isolating Europe and the rest of the international community.
Biden has also called the Benjamin government a fanatic government.
Speaking at an election campaign event in Washington for next year’s US presidential elections, the US President bluntly said that the Israeli PM “cannot say no” to Palestinian statehood.
Along with this, Biden also urged Netanyahu not to repeat the mistakes made by America after 9/11. Biden warned that the coalition of international support built after the October 7 Hamas attack is now in danger.
How did Biden’s stance change?
This changed form of the American President has come to light when he himself is surrounded by allegations regarding the attacks on Gaza in his own country, while he has to go to the elections next year.
Now the US President is facing increasing criticism in the court of public opinion and within his own Democratic Party over his stance on the Israeli attack.
Criticism from public to party:
A recent CBS News poll found that only 20% of Americans think Biden’s approach is likely to lead to a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
80 percent of people have rejected it, while 38% of Democrats believe that Biden has shown too much kindness to Israel. Last month this figure was only 28%. This means that even within Biden’s party, dissatisfaction against him is gradually increasing.
Additionally, Biden’s comments come as a response to pressure from other Western governments to demand a halt to Israeli attacks that continued overnight.
The governments of Australia, Canada and New Zealand issued a joint statement on Tuesday calling for “safe and unimpeded humanitarian access” to all Palestinian civilians and the release of all remaining hostages and a ceasefire.
Meeting with the families of the hostages on Wednesday:
It has been claimed in the American media that Biden is now going to hold a personal meeting for the first time with the families of Americans taken hostage by Hamas on Wednesday.
According to NBC News, the victims’ families have been called to the White House. Although some people can participate virtually. Four Americans were released during the last humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, while seven remain unaccounted for.
Let us tell you that this is the 68th day of the Israel-Hamas war. During this time, Gaza Strip has become a crematorium due to the attacks of the Israeli army. Many cities of Gaza have been reduced to rubble, while more than 18,000 Palestinians have died in these attacks.
Two-thirds of these are children and women. More than 50 thousand people are injured. On the other hand, on Tuesday itself, 153 countries in the United Nations voted in favor of the proposal for immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
