Israel's war in Gaza runs a substantial risk of inspiring more Palestinian civilians to join Hamas, according to President Joe Biden’s top military adviser.
“At the same time, much more needs to be done to protect civilians and to make sure that humanitarian assistance reaches them,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in New Delhi, where he and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met with their Indian counterparts. “Far too many Palestinians have been killed; far too many have suffered these past weeks. And we want to do everything possible to prevent harm to them and to maximize the assistance that gets to them.
“We will reach every person who has acted against the citizens of Israel — anyone who kidnapped and harmed women and children,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said this week. “We will get to them all, whether it takes a week, a month, a year, and if necessary, even years. We will not let anyone go. We will eliminate them all, they have no place under the sun.”
“The goal that they are setting — they will never reach this goal ... because Hamas is not only in Gaza,” Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh, whose government was ousted from the Gaza Strip in 2007 during a civil war with Hamas, told France 24. “Hamas is an idea, it’s not only a military structure or an organization in Gaza. Hamas is in the West Bank and Lebanon and Syria, Hamas leadership is in Qatar, and everywhere.
