Trump backs Israel's war on Gaza, Biden wants cease-fire
Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for President of the United States, has expressed his support for Israel's ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. In an interview given to the American media Fox News, Trump said the clearest thing he has ever said in this regard.
In a recent Fox News interview, Trump was asked if he was in favor of Israel. He replied, 'Yes.'
The interviewer then asks if he supports the way Israel is conducting the operation. In response, Trump said, "You have to end the problem."
Trump's comments come as pressure on the United States to persuade Israel to stop attacking Gaza is intensifying.
In the next presidential election in the United States, it is believed that there will be a fight between the current US President Joe Biden and the former US President Donald Trump. But Biden is under international pressure for supporting Israel in the Gaza war. Even within his own party, many Democrats opposed his position.
Meanwhile, Biden wants a ceasefire in Gaza before Ramadan. He said it could be very dangerous if there is no ceasefire in Gaza before Ramadan. On Tuesday, Biden issued this warning. At the same time, he said, the acceptance of the ceasefire agreement depends on Hamas.
A possible ceasefire agreement in Gaza is being discussed in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. Meanwhile, for the second time in Gaza, the US military dropped relief aid from aircraft.
Biden told ally Israel there would be no excuses for not allowing more aid to reach Gaza.
The United Nations has warned that famine is imminent in Gaza, which is under indiscriminate attacks by Israeli forces.
U.S. frustration with Israel is growing over the need for aid in Gaza and the rising civilian death toll. On the other hand, the United States is disappointed that Hamas has not agreed to the terms of the ceasefire, including the release of hostages. Such a statement came from Biden in such a context.
"It's now in the hands of Hamas," 81-year-old Biden told reporters on his way back to the White House from Camp David in Maryland, USA.
The US president said the Israelis were cooperating with the ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire proposal is logical. They will know about it in a few days. But a ceasefire is needed.
Biden also said, 'There should be a ceasefire due to Ramadan. If this situation continues during Ramadan, the situation in Israel and Jerusalem could be very, very dangerous.'
On October 7, the Palestinian independence organization Hamas attacked Israel. About 1,160 people were killed in the attack, according to AFP calculations based on information from Israeli officials. Most of them are civilians. In response, Israel launched a counterattack on the Gaza Strip from October 7. According to the Health Ministry of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in the nearly five-month war. Most of them are women and children.
US protest movements are telling voters to teach Biden, who supports Israel, a lesson in the party's presidential primaries.
More than 100,000 voters voted 'uncommitted' without supporting Biden in the recent party primaries in Michigan. That is, they did not promise support. Michigan is already known as one of America's swing voter states.
In such a situation, US officials seem to be tough against Israel recently. US Vice President Kamala Harris expressed concern over the inhumane conditions in the Gaza Strip. He expressed such concerns in a meeting with Benny Gantz, a member of Israel's War Cabinet, in Washington on March 5.
