Ex-president says decision threatens to worsen humanitarian crisis, undermine peace effort and erode global support for Israel
Some of Israel’s decisions in its war against Hamas – including cutting off food and water for Gaza – could “harden Palestinian attitudes for generations” and weaken international support for Israel, Barack Obama said on Monday.
In rare comments on an active foreign policy crisis, the ex-US president said any Israeli military strategy that ignores the human costs of the war “could ultimately backfire”.
“The Israeli government’s decision to cut off food, water and electricity to a captive civilian population [in Gaza] threatens not only to worsen a growing humanitarian crisis – it could further harden Palestinian attitudes for generations, erode global support for Israel, play into the hands of Israel’s enemies, and undermine long-term efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region,” said Obama.
This fool would have doubled down compared to Biden and probably run his own media campaign on why supporting Israel militarily is good.
Basically gave zero craps in Afghanistan pulling the same stuff with drone collateral
Ah yes, the erudite Trump is so much better.
I never mentioned nor endorsed Trump bruh.
All I said is Obama’s comment doesn’t mean anything because he would not have pressured Israel at all just like how Biden isn’t doing the same.
Biden’s foreign policy practically started as a copy paste from Obama because he was vice president.
