Title: President Biden Criticizes Israel’s Attacks in Gaza, Israeli Minister Responds
In a recent development, President Joe Biden of the United States has expressed criticism of Israel’s intense attacks in the Gaza Strip. He stated that while the United States supports Israel, the indiscriminate bombings in Gaza are causing them to lose support in the rest of the world.
In response to President Biden’s comments, Minister of Agriculture Avi Dichter of the Likud party, a member of the political-security cabinet, defended the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and dismissed Biden’s criticism. Dichter claimed that Biden’s remarks were based on unverified information and accused him of “feeding on people.”
Dichter justified the bombings, stating that there are instances where bombs may not hit their intended targets. He emphasized that the IDF only targets terrorist locations and acknowledged the difficulty and pain of war.
Furthermore, Dichter addressed the issue of Palestinian workers in Israel, stating that while there are currently a few thousand workers with exceptional permits, the expansion of this exclusion is limited to quantity and not criteria.
Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict has also led to extensive destruction in Gaza, with the bombing of Jabaliya showcasing the extent of the devastation.
The differing perspectives from President Biden and Minister Dichter highlight the complex and contentious nature of the situation in the region, as well as the implications on international relations and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
