The US is worried about the fate of the captives, which "Israel" seems to have decided to sacrifice as "collateral damage" in its war against Gaza.

A recent report by Bloomberg shows that the Biden administration is worried that "Israel" is shortsightedly fixated on invading Gaza and has no robust plan that would grant it a sustainable solution.

While the US has pledged unconditional support for "Israel" in its aggression against Gaza, it is concerned about the possible repercussions of the ground invasion, the report explains, listing a set of concerns: 

  • The conflict could snowball into a regional war that would involve other parties, such as the Lebanese Resistance: Hezbollah. 
  • The humanitarian toll on Palestinian civilians could subject "Israel" and the US to increased international pressure.
  • Exacerbation of the struggle and increased Palestinian casualties could place normalization deals with Arab governments at risk.

The Ministry of Health in #Gaza reported that the number of martyrs has risen to 2215 and 8714 were injured in the Israeli occupation’s ongoing aggression against the #Palestinian people, adding that 66% of the murdered Palestinians are children and women. #Palestine… pic.twitter.com/gWqFF22RT9

  • The fate of the captives, which "Israel" seems to have decided to sacrifice as "collateral damage" in its war against Gaza. 
  • "Israel" has no prospective plan for Gaza beyond their determination to destroy Hamas. 

“They need a strategic plan for Gaza and it’s obvious that the plan that they’ve been executing, essentially over the last several years hasn’t worked,” said Seth Moulton, a Democrat Representative in the House Armed Services Committee, adding that "Israel needs a long-term strategy for Gaza that will be more effective than whatever they’ve been doing for the last 15 years."

“There may be an Arab role in helping legitimize some post-Hamas political order — and even arriving at a post-Hamas political order — that shouldn’t be offensive to the Israelis,” Jon Alterman, director of the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says. 

“It appears that the strategy is to support Israel in eliminating the terrorist enclave on its border and deter others, especially Hezbollah, from joining the fight,” said Richard Fontaine, the chief executive of the Center for a New American Security. “Beyond that - including the big question of who governs Gaza after Hamas - remains a work in progress.”

This comes as the Israeli occupation army has requested that the AIPAC Zionist lobby in the US support its ongoing atrocities in Gaza when the "ugly" scenes from Gaza start to surface.

Referring to the ongoing aggression on Gaza and the Israeli plans of forced displacement, a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military told the organization in a video conference call on Thursday that "the scenes out of Gaza will be hard to stomach," and once these scenes come out, that it is the time when "Tel Aviv" would need the support of parties that want to "stand up for what's right."

"Even when the going gets ugly and the scenes out of Gaza will be hard to stomach — not as hard as the things that were coming out of Kibbutz Be’eri and Kfar Aza, but they will be hard to stomach — then we will need the support of anybody who loves freedom wants to stand up for what’s right,” Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military, said.

"The things" in his address refer to media reports that emerged alleging that babies were beheaded, among other unsubstantiated actions. The reporter who made the initial claim denied that they had seen evidence of such an event and said they were told by one Israeli soldier. Additionally, the US President and several officials have admitted to not seeing any evidence. Moreover, the CNN reporter who made the false story go viral later apologized for her report, stating that she "needs to be more careful with [her] words," admitting that she was "misinformed".
