Obama Urges Restraint in Israel’s War With Hamas
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Susan Milligan | Oct. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
Israel's strategy to cut off water, food and electricity to Gaza – where half the population are children – adds to the suffering of Palestinian civilians who had nothing to do with the brutal Oct 7 attack on Israel, Obama wrote. "It’s therefore important that those of us supporting Israel in its time of need encourage a strategy that can incapacitate Hamas while minimizing further civilian casualties." Israel has yet to launch a promised ground invasion to clear out Hamas, and Biden, in his visit to the war zone last week, said he implored Netanyahu to adhere to the "rules of war." Asked about a cease-fire, Biden said Hamas abductors needed to release the hostages, "and then we'll talk." Hamas released two Israeli hostages Monday, after letting free two American captives over the weekend.

And as if to punctuate the tragedy and horror of the conflict, an explosion rocked a hospital in Gaza, causing hundreds of civilian casualties. "There is a significant U.S. interest here, showing strong support for Israel," which Biden did immediately after the attack and subsequently, she says. Hamas is based in Gaza, where civilian Palestinians have fought the Israeli government – Netanyahu especially – for civil and human rights. But while there are indeed Palestinians who support Hamas, not all do – and half of Gaza residents are children who are vulnerable as Israel seeks to erase Hamas forever. Biden and Netanyahu have had a chilly relationship going back to the Iran nuclear deal negotiated when Biden was vice president and which Netanyahu opposed.
