US doesn't want an end to Gaza war: Politico

According to Politico, the US supports the Israeli objective of annihilating the Palestinian Resistance, despite the grave humanitarian costs.

Contrary to the preponderant discourse that the Biden administration is trying to tame Netanyahu's genocidal fervor, the US has no interest in stopping the Israeli aggression on Gaza, a recent report by Politico shows. 

"The U.S. agrees with Israel’s goal of destroying Hamas even if it’s not entirely clear what that will ultimately look like," the report reads. 

According to Politico, the US supports the Israeli objective of annihilating the Palestinian Resistance, despite the grave humanitarian costs, not only out of regard for their Israeli ally but also because annihilating the Palestinian Resistance is an American interest just as much as it is an Israeli interest. 

"What’s not said in public: Destroying — or at least degrading Hamas — is in the U.S. interest on multiple levels," the report reads.

The news website pointed out the reasons Washington is not putting effort to end the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, is because:

  • The US perceives Hamas as being an "Iranian proxy" and thus sees the annihilation of Hamas as a scored victory against Iran.
  • The US perceives Hamas as a "destabilizing force" in the Middle East which threatens US regional interests. 
  • Hamas opposes the US-proposed compromise of a two-state solution.

US President Joe Biden urged Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call on Monday to agree to a "three-day pause in the fighting" to allow progress in releasing a number of captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, Axios reported citing two US and Israeli officials.

As per the US official, a proposal being discussed between the United States, the Israeli occupation, and Qatar stipulates that the Palestinian Resistance would release between 10 and 15 captives, and the three-day pause will be used to verify the identities of all the captives and compile a list of their names.

Israeli officials claim that at least 240 people were held captive by the Palestinian Resistance on October 7 when it launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The Resistance reported earlier that Hamas' efforts to release 12 foreign captives last week were thwarted by the Israeli occupation authorities.
