I spoke to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant yesterday regarding the negotiations for the release of hostages and a temporary ceasefire. I raised the need to consider alternatives to a major ground operation in Rafah, while reiterating the shared goal of defeating Hamas. We also discussed the need to do more to protect civilians from harm and to increase the flow of aid into Gaza through land crossings. defense.gov/News/Releases/…
@SecDef Hamas are freedom fighters. It's their country. They are not the occupiers, they are not bombing hospitals.
@SecDef Mr. Ausin, there was a truce back in November that Hamas broke. We strongly believe that there needs to be demands from the world calling for the release of all hostages immediately and surrender.
@SecDef @Kason0420 The Biden administration is currently demanding that the Netanyahu administration take a humanitarian approach to war. Meanwhile, Republicans invite Netanyahu to the Senate to share his manifesto with them."😡
@SecDef 1. When you have a great wrong. You cannot beat people into submission. You may defeat Hamas only to find another waiting in the wings. Add to that the US and Israel were complicit with Hamas. I can understand they want to eradicate it.
@SecDef Israel needs to flatten Rafa. Then the IDF needs to eliminate Hezbollah.
@SecDef Netanyahu has drawn you into his criminal plan for genocide, which is no different at all from Slobodan Milosevic. Congratulations to you for being a partner in diving into the Gazan bloodbath. x.com/alanabdo13/sta…
