85639 - Transcription: Podcast With US #137: The position of USA in Israeli crisis

N. Lygeros

In the framework of the war in Israel the position of the US is very clear. And now it’s even more because we saw it with the visit of Blinken in the region. So now we understand that it’s not just a position, it’s the support of Israel in this war against Hamas because the US know very clearly what the question is about the hostages and they know of course that they had to do something to save them from the barbarity of Hamas. So, there is no question, there is no objection about that. Now we have to see what the strategy of Israel will be to save those people and how to manage the problem of the population in Gaza because the war is not against Palestine, it’s of course against Hamas. But the problem is that Hamas uses the population as a shield and to avoid this problem Israel needs a very smart strategy because we don’t need to have other victims, we don’t need to create much more problems in the region and we have to understand that this trace of this smart strategy is also human. So, the position of the US is to support a smart strategy with a very low level of problems to avoid something which can be a catastrophe. But the point is that we are with the righteous on this problem and we have to see this kind of resolution because the hostages are still there and they are the victims of Hamas and we have to save them and this is the position of the US very clearly.
