Former US President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for allegedly restraining Israeli leaders during the Gaza war and failing to show adequate support for their efforts. Trump urged Biden to support Israeli leaders in finishing the job in Gaza. He also insinuated that Biden’s reluctance stemmed from his supposed Palestinian heritage. In response, Biden affirmed unwavering US support for Israel during the conflict, despite withholding certain weapons to prevent civilian casualties. The ongoing Gaza war has taken a toll on civilians, with calls for ceasefire ongoing. Despite US support for Israel, Hamas continues to seek permanent peace and the return of displaced individuals. The conflict has resulted in numerous casualties, drawing limited objections from Western nations. The debate highlighted the complexities of the situation in Gaza, sparking discussions on international diplomacy and the role of global superpowers in conflict resolution.
