US President Joe Biden has raised concerns about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent actions, saying they are causing more harm than good to Israel.
Biden expressed worries over the loss of innocent lives during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians. He emphasized that while Israel has the right to defend itself, it should also consider the impact on civilians.
In an interview with MSNBC, Biden stated, "He has a right to defend Israel... But he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost."
Tensions in the region typically escalate during the holy month of Ramadan, often leading to clashes in Jerusalem's Old City.
Biden urged Netanyahu not to attack Rafah, a city where many Palestinians sought refuge. He warned that such an action would result in further loss of Palestinian lives.
Despite Biden's plea, Netanyahu defended his decisions, denying any harm to Israel's interests.
Efforts are underway to provide aid to Gaza, including US airdrops and plans for a temporary sea pier. Gaza is facing severe humanitarian challenges, with thousands of pregnant women lacking essential resources and medical care due to the conflict.
In Gaza, about 60,000 pregnant women are struggling to access basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care. The health ministry reported that due to the ongoing attacks and displacement, around 5,000 women give birth each month under extremely difficult and risky conditions.
The conflict between Israel and Palestinians has drawn international attention, with calls for both sides to prioritize peace and the protection of civilian lives.
Biden's comments reflect growing concerns over the escalation of violence and the humanitarian crisis in the region. The situation remains tense, with efforts underway to facilitate dialogue and provide aid to those in need.
