Hillary Clinton, former Democratic presidential candidate, is convinced that declaring a ceasefire in Gaza at this time would be like a gift to members of the Islamic group Hama.s, as it would give them time to regroup to repel the Israeli offensive.
During an interview granted to The Jerusalem Post, The former Secretary of State also said she was in favor of continuing the work carried out by the Jewish armed forces with the aim of dismantling the structure of the terrorist group. which caused the death of more than 1,400 people when it bombed Israel by surprise on October 7.
“The people who are now calling for a ceasefire do not understand Hamas. That is not possible. “It would be a great gift for Hamas because they would spend the time there was a ceasefire rebuilding their weapons, creating stronger positions to be able to defend themselves against a possible attack by the Israelis,” he said.
Based on hundreds of detonations, The Israeli army entered the Gaza Strip last Saturday and is combing every corner in search of annihilating any member considered part of Hamas, in an action that is quite controversial for several members of the UN. Since free access to humanitarian aid has been restricted and apart from some trucks that entered the devastated area from Egypt, the Palestinian population practically lacks even the most basic things to survive.
About, The White House recently issued a statement through which President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to comply with international law. and allow the immediate entry of more humanitarian aid.
However, since the UN approved a resolution to demand respect for humanitarian law in Gaza, Various testimonies from Palestinians living in what is left standing in the area of the war conflict agree in describing how the areas where they traveled for years have become a hell. where there is a lack of communication, electricity, water, food and medicine, since the Israeli soldiers make sure that none of this is possible for them to acquire.
In fact, The stubbornness to listen to and carry out the UN recommendations led to several members of the Jewish government last week demanding the dismissal of Antonio Guterres as secretary general of said organization.
