American Muslim Community: Biden Complicit in Israeli Crimes in Gaza Strip

 Al Jazeera news channel reported on Saturday that a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a US civil rights group that works on issues related to Muslim and Arab communities, said: “While the Biden administration has stepped up its verbal criticism of the Israeli war (regime), in practice it continues to resolutely support this false regime." In this regard, Osama Hamdan, one of the leaders of the Hamas movement, also emphasized that the statements of the American president have practically no effect and that no matter what the Biden government says, these are statements hanging in the air. According to the Palestinian Information Center, Osama Hamdan said: "Joe Biden is trying to be a little different from the Israeli regime so as not to be found complicit in the crime against the Gaza Strip, but the American government is capable of stopping the war and imposing its terms on Tel Aviv if it wants to." After all, this leader of the Hamas resistance group noted that there was a serious opportunity for a ceasefire, an end to the siege and the withdrawal of occupying forces from the Gaza Strip, and added: “Some in America have concluded that Israel is damaging the image of Americans.”

In other news, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said that cutting off support from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) would hasten a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Ministry of Health announced in its latest report on Saturday that 107 Palestinian citizens were martyred in the Gaza Strip over the past day and night. Since October 7, 2023, with the full support of Western countries, especially the United States and Britain, the Zionist regime began massacres in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank against the defenseless and oppressed people of Palestine, and the complete silence of the international community and human rights communities in the face of the crimes of the Zionist regime led to the continued killing of women and Palestinian children by the illegitimate military Zionist regime. For almost 4 months, the Zionist regime, using the most advanced weapons, including fighter jets, drones, tanks and various modern types of missiles and bombs, most of which were made by European countries and the United States, has been attacking the Gaza Strip. Since October 7, 2023, Zionist regime attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed 28,000 Palestinians and injured more than 68,000 others. 70% of the martyrs and wounded are children and women. Previously, the Palestinian Relief and Employment Agency for Displaced Persons (UNRWA) announced that more than 85% of the residents of the Gaza Strip have been displaced since the Zionist regime's attacks on the strip began, and most of them have experienced displacement several times.

 Thousands of protesters held a mass rally against the prime minister of the Zionist regime on Saturday evening. On Saturday evening, thousands of protesters held a mass rally against the prime minister of the Zionist regime. This demonstration was attended by the families of Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip. They called on Netanyahu and his cabinet to reach an agreement with Hamas on the release of prisoners as soon as possible. Demonstrators blocked one of Tel Aviv's main streets in the Kaplan district. According to CNN, the families of the remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip are angry with Benjamin Netanyahu for abandoning the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. Rejecting Hamas's proposed ceasefire terms, Netanyahu recently said: "Submitting to Hamas' delusional demands will only lead to another disaster for Israel, another massacre." He further added that continued military pressure on Hamas is a "necessary condition" for Israel's security. CNN also writes that pressure is increasing on Netanyahu's fragile cabinet, which was unable to return hostages from the Gaza Strip. For the first time since October 7, Israeli demonstrators called for early elections.
