US President Joe Biden warns against Israel's occupation of Gaza and calls for Hamas eradication.


Washington: US President Joe Biden has cautioned against Israel's occupation of Gaza, emphasizing that such a move would be a grave error.
The American leader expressed his views during an interview, underlining his commitment to the eradication of the Palestinian resistance organization, Hamas.
President Biden's remarks come at a time when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to grip the region with tension and violence.
He has also hinted at the possibility of an upcoming visit to Israel as part of his diplomatic efforts to address the escalating situation.
Furthermore, President Biden reached out to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas via telephone, emphasizing that Hamas does not represent the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people for self-determination.
In a show of support for President Biden's stance, Mahmoud Abbas echoed the sentiments of the American president.
In contrast to these diplomatic overtures, Gideon Sa'ar, Israel's newly appointed minister, raised concerns by threatening to further diminish the already embattled Gaza Strip at the conclusion of the conflict.
He went as far as suggesting that Palestinians from both the eastern and northern regions would be forced to vacate their territories, potentially exacerbating an already complex situation.
The situation in the region remains precarious, as fears mount that the Israel-Hamas conflict could escalate into a wider regional conflict.
There is growing concern that this conflict might spill over into new hostilities along the Lebanese border and could involve the participation of Iran.
As part of the United States' diplomatic efforts to address the situation, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, discussing the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
Following this, Blinken continued his regional tour by meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Cairo, where the Egyptian president voiced concerns over what he deemed to be collective punishment by Israel.
Blinken is set to conclude his regional tour with a visit to Jordan before returning to Israel.
