Moscow, March 27.- Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, accused the President of the United States, Joe Biden, of “tacitly supporting the enemies of Israel” and the American congresswoman of the Democratic Party Rashida Tlaib, reports The New York Times.
According to the senior official, Biden “prefers the line” of Rashida Tlaib and Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, to the “line of [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir.” “I would have hoped that the president of the United States would not have followed his line, but ours,” he added.
In December last year, Tlaib, a member of the House of Representatives, publicly spoke out against continued US aid to Israel and called Netanyahu a “genocidal maniac.”
Ben-Gvir believes that the White House tenant is “enormously wrong” in trying “to constantly impose restrictions on Israel and conversations about the rights” of Hamas, whose militants “want to destroy” the Hebrew country, he asserted.
The US president last week expressed concern about Netanyahu's plans to carry out an operation in the city of Rafa, in the southern Gaza Strip, which he believes will lead to more civilian deaths and further international isolation of Israel. (RT) (Photo: PL/File)
