The Biden administration is pursuing a “dual-track” approach when it comes to the Gaza war, analyst Luciano Zaccara says, amid its recent decision to sell more weapons to Tel Aviv.
“On the one hand they are trying to convince the public opinion that the US is really concerned about civilian casualties but also they keep sustaining Israel (militarily),” the Qatar University professor told Al Jazeera. “It is totally contradicting … it is hard to understand how this is in the national interest.”
Zaccara said the policy was especially perplexing in light of “mounting pressure” in the US, including among democrats, against the war as civilian casualties in Gaza continue to rise.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday approved the potential sale to Israel of M107 155mm projectiles and related equipment for $147.5 million, while also skipping its review by the Congress, the Pentagon said.

War criminals in US government, thoroughly offensive.
Indonesia stand with Palestine
🇲🇨❤🇵🇸
War is the main business of the United States, to achieve their own interests, they create conflict between each other and make war, through this war, they continue their arms trade.
Hamas and Gazans in general totally miscalculated! Oct 7 massacre was totally unwise. Never start a fight you cant win else you pay a heavy price. That’s simply how nature goes.
The wise thing to do is live peacefully as neighbours despite your differences. Life is too short for such madness. Purge your heart of hate else you self-destroy in hatred. All the money pumped into Gaza to enable a good quality of life is channelled into building machinery for war (tunnels, etc). Most unwise and comes from a heart filled with hate. True God despises hate. Self reflect Gazans and don’t allow yourselves be brainwashed into self destruction.
Why is it that US is the self acclaimed world leader ?
They’re starting to face some challenges to that. China has them worried for a start.
Of course it is contradictory. It’s also ridiculous, inhumane, zionist/racist, and immoral.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
The civilian shield strategy has got to end. Giving it tacit support by pretending it doesn’t exist, despite being commun knowledge, is pure hypocrisy. Time to cut the BS.
What is the strategy? Has it been proven independently? Does it justify what is happening?
It’s called bullying, they can’t control own politics right now they ban Trump from 2024 elections those states are run by opponents democrats, shame on you.
Pallies wanting the whole of Israel or nothing is working out really well for them eh? They will get exactly what they wanted , except it will be nothing.
“Whoever condemns the terrorism of the Palestinian organizations must at the same time condemn the terrorism by the Judeo-Nazis in the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.” – Yeshayahu Leibowitz 1972
Where are your monuments and ancient stories? Ah, I think there is no reason why no Palestinians existed 5000 years ago. nothing
@@Vec352So where are the 2000 year old monuments of Ashkenazi Jews in the Levant? They are European, not Mediterranean looking.
Wow impressive useless knowledge, a 1972 quote, dig deeper there’s more nuggets down this rabbit hole.
@@zubversivezigotto9731 Just to show that even then there were intelligent Israelis who recognised the depravity of keeping so many people locked up.
@@Vec352 “8 And I will give you (Abraham) and your seed after you the land of your sojournings, the entire land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them for a God”… As far as I know Abraham died with only the land he’d paid for which wasn’t much. Clearly that was a false prophet which Jews and Christians acknowledge existed. So why do Jews think the land of Canaan was promised to them by someone reliable?
US policy supports genocide and war crimes undertaken by Israel. Very immoral leadership.
Israel hates the UN because they expose their lies to the world
Yes. They’re deliberately stopping the UN from going into Gaza because they don’t want the extent of their crimes seen or reported by UN eye witnesses.
The arab nations need to step up and act as a independent negotiater.
The us is taking care of what is important to us. Times of trying to broker peace sre over.
The military industrial complex wants to sell weapons.
Let me help you answer the question. United States helps Israel because they are our ally and friend. That’s what friends do a shame that Palestinians have no true friends. That’s why you don’t understand.
Sorry, but it’s about control, money from AIPAC who owns our gov’t and votes of our old politicians who want to stay in power so they can get richer. Israel spies on the US, sells weapons to our enemies inc surveillance like Pegasus which gets Palestinian-Americans killed and lots of other things. In case you haven’t noticed, Palestinians have lots of friends, more than the US right now. Global protests, wealthy Palestinians outside Israel working to help them, many organizations doing the same, major publicity and articles, sanctions by BRICS and much more. I think that’s what you don’t understand. Just sayin’.
Beloved and Strong Palestinians, we are with you… 🧡❤💙 God is indeed with you…
lies. ur probably eating somewhere safe far from it all lol
Está Matança não é a procura de Hamas , apenas para Bens materiais .
Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB) is an active United States Air Force Air Expeditionary Base operating in Saudi Arabia and assigned to the U.S. Air Forces Central Command.
USA pays billions of dollars on such bases and who can say no to billions dollars
No, the country that hosts the base pays. Try looking into the 1400 year old ghilman tradition. Arabs just passed it on to US military.
Free free Palestine ❤❤❤❤
So glad for Al Jazeera, reliable for good reporting
replace al jaazeera with CNN slant on things and u begin to see the reason behind the international divide. watch all coverage on a topic and make up your own dang minds
How do you know?
Cos it’s not biased in favour of isreal like all other media. Anyone not supporting Israel is a reliable source cos its common sense they are the occupier
It’s always Qatar on the wrong side.
Most Arab countries loves 💰💰💰💷💶💵
US and European union bark a lot about Ukrainian and provide their assistance and weapon. Why are they not providing same things to Palestinian. Palestinian have same freedom of right to defend themselves against Nazis Israel and Hitler Natenyghu. If Ukrainian have right to defend themselves, Palestinian should have also but Muslim world turn their eyes and left them alone
Adavance happy new year to all aljzeera
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
ISRAEL STOP GENOCIDE IN GAZA PEOPLE
war on terror is not only US interest….its the world interest
Hypocrisy at it peak.
ALLAHU AKBAR at all ALLAHU AKBAR
Noticia internacional de ultima hora familia en todo el mundo
Noticia mundial de ultima hora familia en todo el mundo
Noticia internacional de ultima hora familia
Importante noticia mundial de ultima hora familia en todo el mundo
When the US government will stop to Israel govt helping in this war which Israel is doing on gaza people’s or palestine people’s very bad and very sad
Like you’d know, al-Thani
One of the reasons we need a multipolar world. It’s ridiculous that international law does not apply to the U$Ass-A and its strategic allies.
Bom dia
the US has always had many faces and hid some too. Thankfully this conflict is showing more of what lies beneath the mask
Well in the US there are many many protests to help Palenstine and this may cost Biden reelection and end America
Isreal/America has been exposed by tiny resistance group called Hamas.Their bosting of big powers has been reduced to ashes in Afghanistan and now in Plestine
🍉🍊🫒🤲🏼🕰️❤️🏴
INTERNACIONAL INSTITUTIONS SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT HELPLESS AND VULNERABLE PALESTINIANS INCLUDING CHILDREN AND BABIES.
Yes, some are speaking up strongly but it is past the time for talk. Action!
Yes, they should free Gaza from Hamas.
FREE FREE PALESTINE FROM RIVER TO SEA.@@johanosegundo
SHAME ISRAEL AND AMERICA
“US policy in Gaza war” annoying you enemy having policy or saying on you discussing 😞
The table has turned. America has become the world’s terrorist.
That table turned when America invaded Iraq for no reason whatsoever.
American politicians have all been bought off by the the Israel lobby so don’t expect anything good or decent from them
What is going on in palestine is terrorism over innocent people.
In 1945 to 1948, the US UK military industrial complex transported….
……., armed, trained and released a bunch of East European fanatics
In 1945-1948, US-UK military industrial complex feared lack of business..
There is no Illegal occupation of Palestine and that includes the settlements in the West Bank.
1. The fundamental default rule of international law which governs the formation of Estates Borders at the moment of independence is called, ‘Uti Possidetis Uris’.
2. Uti Possidetis Uris dictates that a new state inherits, as its international borders, the boundaries of the pre-existing administrative .
3. The fundamental rule is universally applied, it was applied in South America, Africa and in Asia at the disintegration of the former communist federations and it is applied to states emerging from mandates i.e. Syria, Iraq, Jordan.
4. It is also applied to Israel at its Declaration of Independence in 1948.
5. Another fundamental rule of principle of international law is its ‘equal application’. You cannot have a general rule and an exemption for a country that you don’t like or you have some political or ideological opposition to.
6. The equal application of this rule tells us that in 1948 Israel’s border ran along the eastern boundary of the Mandate. It included East Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, later called the West Bank.
7. In 1948 in a war of annihilation that was waged on Israel by Jordan occupied that territory and ethnically cleansed it of its Jews.
8. In 1967, in another war of attempted annihilation waged on the Jewish State, Israel recovered that territory.
9. Another parallel example: Ukraine’s borders were formed under the rule of ‘Uti Possidetis Uris’
10. There is international consensus that Russia has occupied Crimea from Ukraine.
11. If Ukraine were to recover Crimea in the same way that Israel recovered the West Bank from Jordan in 1967, would anyone accuse Ukraine of occupying Crimea?
12. Why the double standard?
13. The fact is that there is no occupation under international law—it is only a political term with no legal basis.
It’s been illegal to take land by force since 1948 so any thing isreal tried to claim since then is illegal its borders legal are 1947 borders not theiv8ng ethnic cleansing of 1948 get a life
Define genocide and apartheid for us then. Outline disproportionate retaliation. Analyse yourself and ask why you support the killing of more people than some small nations entire populations. You can explain to people all you want but you can’t hide your heart from God. Thou shalt not kill.
There is an illegal occupation, we see it everyday……and so do you.
To be clear, Blinky doesn’t decide to do anything on his own, he’s just a talking head. Inky and Stinky are pulling his strings behind the scene!
Who is pulling strings? Lobby?
@@user-pf7tf3rf1u He’s doing Biden’s bidding. Joe Biden is undoubtedly influenced by the lobby, but his unconditional support of Israel does have a sincere aspect as well. Biden’s father took him to see the concentrations camps and Biden took his kids as well. He is deeply moved by the holocaust and it continues to cloud his judgement when it comes to Israel.
Biden is a war criminal. Put Sen Whitehouse in the Whitehouse in 2024
President Whitehouse?? Love it! 🙂
In one very important way, the American invasion of Iraq was worse than any of this because America had NO reason whatsoever for invading Iraq, absolutely NONE. They even knowingly lied that Iraq had nukes! Condi, Rummy, Cheney , and Bush all spewed the ‘mushroom cloud’ nonsense. Hamas attacked after many years of oppression and murder by the Israelis, didn’t have to be quite so savage maybe, but they had a reason. Israel is grossly overreacting to the Hamas attack, but they do have a reason for hitting back. Iraq was an absolutely pointless slaughter; we shouldn’t be surprised at the US support of Israel here.
There’s Videos of Netenyahu encouraging Congress to go to war with Iraq shouting it would be positive for the region. He used US soldiers to destabilize the region and take out one of his enemies. Israe was involved and supported Iraq War. Israel and America have the same agenda
Z 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤❤❤
Right of all Muslim countries close the seas.. very clear US support esrael, weapons, ammunition and bombs and billion dollars cause of 21 thousand civilians died in Gaza..
Muslem in the world with you palistine..
The United States will never abandon Israel. Palestine should consider if Hamas will take them forward, or keep them back.
It is extremely disturbing that Blinken approved this sale without Congress consent. Is he running the war? If he is running the war then so is the Israeli lobby. Our democracy is dead.
Exposing all the lies
Qatari Government is friends of HAMAS..AS IS ISRAEL AND AMERICAN SHADOW GOVERNMENT AND EUROPEAN KABAL OF NATO..
BDS TO ISRAEL AND UNITED STATES.
God bless Israel ❤❤❤❤
US is hypocritical speaks with a forked tongue
Believe it or not, the contradictions started all the way back to 1492, when people from Europe declared to the world that they were “civilized good christians” just before raping and pillaging the whole world for “jesus” aka “Inter Caetera.”
totally US wants unstable and conflict in arab region.
How Hamas got into Israel? Why Hamas rockets were not caught in the air as usual? Did Israel let it happen for a purpose? They were prepared for the war
YES, YES, YES!!!
There is no history of Israel coutry in Palestine from
Abraham 2000 BC migrated to canaanites Philistine from Babylon Nimrod where he had dispute with his father belief.
Joseph took Jacob and the twelve tribes of Israelites to Egypt for 1000 years.
David 1000 BC illigaly inveded canaanites Philistine killed its king Goliath Jalut and occupied canaanites Philistine.
British mandate of Palestine 1921 illegally established Zionist Apartheid occupation on Palestine country.
UN 1948 illegal approved the partition of Palestine country to create Zionist Apartheid occupation on Palestine country.
Palestine has always existed with Palestinian people of Cristians Muslim and Jews
Palestine must return to peace with Palestine country with Palestinian people of Cristians Muslim and Jews.
Rich country like us they do as they wish to oppress the poor and create catastrophe in between the half not.
Criticism of the U.S.. What a surprise…..
UN is a useless organization fails to Cease-Fire in Gaza Monstrosity of the century. Are Palastinians are not qualify for International law. America is a colonizer Does Holocaust with the Palastinians and occupied thier land named it Israel
Dementia Biden contradictory mind stops enemy from guessing correctly.
It is not a “war” when an occupied land resist, against the occupier!
Free free Palestine from Hamas
The US is making itself less and less relevant in world affairs.
US has got no shame at all still talking about Gaza while it is the US behind this genocide against Palestinians
🇵🇸🕊❤️🕊🇵🇸
Everyone is not stupid, Americans government gives almost 4 billion dollars of taxpayers money to Israel, THEN Israel with American tax payers money buys weapons from America, you can’t beat the Zionist
Biden is just a hypocrite
We the People of Greece stand with you Palestinians 🇬🇷🇯🇴🇬🇷
Let’s be perfectly clear, there are no Palestinian Territories, what we have are Palestinian reservations under brutal military occupation.
How can they say No, then sell them what the want c1944 tactics with Germany!?
Palestinians occupied land is by israel is not real reason there’s never going be peace between israel and palestinians.
fake news
Where is humanity to stop this criminal war ?
We are all the Palestinians. From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free, free from Israeli atrocious occupation and genocide.
USA is the only one culprit who destroy the world peace
US law makers who are supporting Israeli genocide for their evangelical Christian beliefs call Hamas as terrorists group amotivated by religion while the fact on the ground is different.
Brasil is with Palestine.
Bible prophecy Amos chapter 1 verse 6 to 8
Free palestina, i stand with palestina
There is no new year amidst the genocide of Palestinians,
Long live Palestine
We always stand with Palestinian
Palestinian mujahidin are lions Alhmdulillh
Capitalist meet Zionist…….suitable
