The Biden administration and the Israeli government diverge sharply over how Gaza should be governed when the war ends.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Thursday appeared to rule out a postwar peace process that would lead to the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state, rebuffing calls from the United States and others to start working toward that goal.
“In any arrangement in the foreseeable future — with an arrangement or without one — Israel must have security control over all the territory west of the Jordan,” Mr. Netanyahu said at a news conference, referring to an area including occupied territory that Palestinians hope will one day become their independent state. “This clashes with the idea of sovereignty. What can you do?”
The Biden administration and the Israeli government have diverged sharply over how Gaza will be governed when the fighting ends. President Biden and his top diplomat, Antony J. Blinken, have urged Israeli officials to move toward the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state. Mr. Biden has suggested that a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority, which is based in the West Bank, run a post-Hamas Gaza as an interim step toward that goal.
But Israeli officials have repeatedly dismissed such calls, saying they are focused on the war in Gaza. On Thursday, Mr. Netanyahu told reporters he had rebuffed the latest exhortations.
In terms of foreign policy he didn’t start as many conflicts and he didn’t kill as many people and didn’t collapse as many governments, and his worst policies (officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, was a huge proponent of the Israel normalization talks in the Middle East) were not undone by Biden. Biden continued or expanded most of Trump’s foreign policy.
I’m talking about the empire, which is undoubtedly evil. The more history I learn the more I hate it. The history of the Indian Wars, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Monroe-Doctrine, the Iraq War, and the many many coups and genocides the empire has been involved in. Did you know that America invaded Russia in 1918? They don’t usually teach that in America’s schools and its not in textbooks, but the empire started the Cold War and everything that followed. We, the nation, are rarely involved at all in any of these decisions. They’re made for us because we don’t have a real democracy, we have a cobbled together “”“republic”“” where two presidents in my lifetime lost the popular vote yet their party controls the Supreme Court.
There are going to be territory concessions in Ukraine and all America has done by prolonging the conflict is get more Ukrainians and Russians killed. I won’t go into how Russia’s demand for Ukraine to not have NATO membership is entirely reasonable, I won’t go into how I believe America planned or at least knew about the attack on the Nordstream Pipeline as a way to force the war to prolong itself, I won’t go into how I view this war as America driving a wedge between Europe and the rest of the world so it can never escape America’s grasp, but I have a lot of reasons to not believe Biden has been good for Ukraine and I blame him for the war not already being over.
Amerikkka must be stopped.
You can have the last word.
