The White House said Sunday that “it’s the right time” for Israel to scale back its military offensive in the Gaza Strip, as Israeli leaders again vowed to press ahead with their operation against the territory’s ruling Hamas militant group.
The comments exposed the growing differences between the close allies on the 100th day of the war.
The majority of the population in Gaza was not born when Hamas “won the election” (which, by the way, was supported by Israel). Then now they have no choice but to “show support” in polls because Hamas is authoritarian. That’s like saying the majority of North Koreans are supportive of Kim Jong Un’s government because the polls say he has a 100% approval rating.
