The US Says ‘No Lasting Peace And Security’ In Gaza Region Without Meeting Legitimate Aspirations Of Palestinians
The US has emphasized that lasting peace and security in the Gaza region can only be achieved by meeting the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller stated that meeting these aspirations is not only in the interest of the Palestinian people but also crucial for the long-term security interests of the Israeli people.
This statement comes amid disagreements between the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government regarding post-war Gaza. President Biden recently called for Prime Minister Netanyahu to change and criticized his government for being the most conservative in Israel’s history, as it opposes a two-state solution. Netanyahu, on the other hand, admitted to a disagreement with Biden on a post-Hamas Gaza Strip.
When asked about the disagreements with the Netanyahu government, Miller mentioned that the US has previously overcome disagreements with Israel regarding humanitarian assistance and humanitarian pauses in Gaza. He highlighted the disagreement between the US and Israel in establishing an independent Palestinian state. The US believes that meeting the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people is essential for achieving lasting peace and security in the region, benefiting both Palestinians and Israelis.
In addition to addressing the disagreements, President Biden also expressed concern about Israel’s diminishing support worldwide due to what he referred to as indiscriminate bombing. However, Miller clarified that the US has not made a formal determination regarding indiscriminate bombing but stressed the importance of protecting civilians from harm.
The US remains committed to encouraging Israel to take additional steps to ensure the safety of civilians. The international community’s recognition of the Palestinian aspirations and the protection of civilian lives are considered crucial for achieving a sustainable and secure future for both Palestinians and Israelis.
As the situation in the Gaza region continues to unfold, the US maintains its stance on prioritizing the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people. The Biden administration seeks to work towards a resolution that not only brings lasting peace and security but also addresses the concerns and interests of both Palestinians and Israelis. The world watches as efforts are made to navigate these complexities and pave the way for a more stable and peaceful future in the region.
While the US reaffirms its commitment to these principles, the international community plays a vital role in supporting the pursuit of a just and comprehensive solution that reflects the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people. The path to lasting peace and security in the Gaza region requires a collective effort and a genuine commitment to dialogue and understanding from all parties involved.
