"Israel has been less than cooperative," Biden regrets inability to shift "Israel's" course

US President Joe Biden openly expressed regret over his inability to persuade “Israel” to change its course in the ongoing aggression against Gaza. 

“There are a lot of things in retrospect I wish I had been able to convince the Israelis to do,” Biden stated during the recent NATO summit in Washington, D.C., emphasizing the urgent need for increased humanitarian aid access to Gaza and a reduction in the use of heavy weaponry in populated areas. 

He underscored the importance of promoting a faster ceasefire and successfully establishing an emergency port from Cyprus, a project that ultimately faced significant operational challenges.

Biden also labeled “Israel's” war cabinet as “one of the most conservative in the history of Israel,” expressing disappointment over its actions during the aggression. 

Despite his candid admissions, his administration faced criticism for its unwavering support of “Israel”.

Additionally, Biden pointed out that “Israel” has been “less than cooperative” in facilitating humanitarian aid to Gaza. 

“We pushed [for aid access] really hard. Israel occasionally was less than cooperative,” he noted, highlighting the difficulties in securing assistance for the besieged enclave.

While “Israeli” officials claimed that 300 trucks entered Gaza recently, World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reported that only five WHO trucks carrying medical supplies had been allowed in over the past week.

Reiterating the urgent need to “end this war,” Biden cautioned that a cessation of hostilities does not equate to halting efforts against Hamas’s leadership. 

He urged “Israel” to focus on targeting specific individuals rather than pursuing broader occupation strategies, stating, “Don’t make the same mistake America made after bin Laden.”

Biden's vision for Gaza's post-war future involves collaboration with Arab states, from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, to ensure peace without “Israeli” forces remaining in the territory. 

He emphasized that the day after the war must involve “no occupation by Israel of the Gaza Strip” while allowing rapid access to necessary supplies.

In contrast to Biden's views, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan asserted that NATO should not continue its partnership with the “Israeli” government until comprehensive peace is established in Palestine.

As the situation in Gaza remains dire, recent reports indicate ongoing violence, including an “Israeli” airstrike on a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp that resulted in three casualties. Fighting continues in Gaza City's Tal Al-Hawa, while “Israeli” forces have withdrawn from Shujaiya, leaving extensive destruction behind.

Additionally, the Israeli military reported the death of a reservist following critical injuries sustained from a Hezbollah drone attack in northern Israel, underscoring the escalating tensions in the region.
