Former President Barack Obama admitted that the Israel-Hamas war has exposed differences inside his foundation, as he called for a two-state solution.
Former President Barack Obama called the Israel-Hamas conflict a 'moral reckoning for all of us' at an event hosted by his foundation Friday. Obama spoke at the Obama Foundation's Democracy Forum on Thursday, where he called for a two-state solution and an end to the 'occupation,' while not clarifying what occupation he meant.
He continued, 'One that is based on genuine security for Israel, a recognition of its right to exist, and a peace that is based on an end of the occupation and the creation of a viable state and self-determination for the Palestinian people.' Palestinian governing authority Hamas launched a terrorist attack against Israel on October 7 that killed over 1,400 Israeli citizens.
The death toll is expected to rise once buildings are cleared and rubble is taken away. 'Now, I will admit, it is impossible to be dispassionate in the face of this carnage,' Obama said Thursday. 'It is hard to feel hopeful. The images of families mourning, of bodies being pulled from rubble, force a moral reckoning on all of us.' Obama admitted that the war has exposed differences inside the Obama Foundation.
