US President Joe Biden and South Korean President Moon Jae-in held a joint press conference after their bilateral and inter-delegation meetings at the White House. Answering the questions of press members, Biden said HAMAS, which protects Palestine against Zionist terrorism, is a terrorist. Saying that he will not back down from the commitments he made for the security of Zionist Israel, Biden said, "There is no peace until Israel is recognized as an independent Jewish state."
"I WON'T GIVE UP ON MY PROMISE FOR THE SECURITY OF ISRAEL"
Responding to the criticism of the USA's support to Israel and the $ 735 million of arms sales in recent events, Biden said, "There is no change in my commitments to Israel's security. "We still need a two-state solution in the region, this will be the only solution to the problems." Biden stated in a telephone conversation with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that he would also support them for the security of the West Bank, and said, "At the same time, I told the Israelis that they should stop the inter-communal conflicts in Jerusalem."
"NO PEACE UNTIL ISRAEL IS RECOGNIZED AS AN INDEPENDENT JEWISH STATE"
Stating that they will supposedly work on the creation of an economic package with other countries for the reconstruction of Gaza, Biden said, "There will be no peace until the regional countries recognize Israel's right to exist as an independent Jewish state." Claiming that the life of Palestinians in the West Bank is supposedly important to him, Biden said, "Abbas should be seen as the leader of the Palestinian people, not the HAMAS we know as a terrorist organization."
White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki also announced that the US has no plans to change the security assistance it provides to terrorist Israel. Psaki passed the question after reminding that many Democrats criticized Biden for not reacting to Israel. Regarding some Democratic Congress members taking action to stop the $ 735 million of arms sales to Israel, Psaki said, "We have no plans to make changes to the security assistance we provide to Israel."
CAPTIVES CONDITION FROM ISRAEL
On the other hand, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz stated that the reconstruction of the area destroyed by the attacks on the blockaded Gaza Strip is subject to the return of the Israeli terrorists who were taken prisoner. Gantz also drew attention to the fact that HAMAS leaders are still targeted by Israel, notably Muhammad ed-Daif, the commander of the military wing of HAMAS, Izz al-din al-Qassam Brigades, and Yahya al-Sinwar, the Gaza chief. Israel argues that HAMAS has held a total of 4 Israelis, two of them soldiers, since 2014.
