Washington, DC: US President Joe Biden has said that there is a \u201cfundamental difference\u201d between Israelis killed in the Hamas attack and Palestinian civilians and Hamas terrorists killed in Tel Aviv\u2019s counter-attack as the terrorist group Hamas has engaged in barbarism \u201cthat is as consequential as the holocaust.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking to CBS News 60 Minutes Interview, Biden called Hamas a \u201cbunch of cowards\u201d who are hiding behind the civilians. He expressed confidence that Israel would do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians.<\/p>\n
Asked whether there was a time for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Biden said, \u201cLook, there\u2019s a fundamental difference. Israel is going after a group of people who have engaged in barbarism that is as consequential as the Holocaust. And so I think Israel has to respond.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have to go after Hamas. Hamas is a bunch of cowards. They\u2019re hiding behind the civilians. They put their headquarters where civilians are and buildings and the like. But to the extent they can separate out and avoid, I\u2019m confident the Israelis are gonna do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians,\u201d he said in a CBS News 60 Minutes interview.<\/p>\n
Biden called Israel\u2019s occupation of Gaza a \u201cbig mistake.\u201d Asked whether he would support Israel\u2019s move, Biden said, \u201d I think it\u2019d be a big mistake. Look, what happened in Gaza, in my view, is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don\u2019t represent all the Palestinian people. And I think that it would be a mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza again. But, going in but taking out the extremists the Hezbollah is up north but Hamas down south.\u201d<\/p>\n
Biden noted that Jews have been subject to \u201cabuse, prejudice and attempt to wipe them over a thousand years.\u201d Last week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned that there is no direct evidence of Iran\u2019s involvement in the specific Hamas attack on Israel, ABC News reported.<\/p>\n
Regarding his support for Israel, Biden said, \u201cThe Jews have been subject to abuse, prejudice, and attempt to wipe them out for, oh, God, over a thousand years. For me, it\u2019s about decency, respect, honour. it\u2019s just simply wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It violates every religious principle I have and every way and every single principle my father taught me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Biden said that Hamas must be eliminated. However, he stressed that there needs to be a path called the \u201ctwo-state solution.\u201d Asked whether he believes Israel would support it, he said, \u201cNot now, not now.\u201d However, Biden said that he thinks Israel understands that a significant portion of Palestinian people do not share the views of Hamas and Hezbollah, CBS News reported.<\/p>\n
In the CBS News 60 Minutes Interview, he said that there is no \u201cclear evidence\u201d regarding Iran\u2019s involvement in the Hamas attack on Israel. Biden said, \u201cIran constantly supports Hamas and Hezbollah. I don\u2019t mean that. But in terms of were they, did they have foreknowledge, did they help plan the attack. There\u2019s no evidence of that at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Biden said the civilians in Palestine were suffering unnecessarily, claiming that a majority of them don\u2019t have anything to do with terrorist group Hamas.<\/p>\n
Biden posted from his official handle on X, \u201cWe must not lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas\u2019s appalling attacks, and are suffering as a result of them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
