Israelin konflikti: Netanyahu vakuuttaa maan pystyvän seisomaan yksin

Gaza Gaza

Israelin pääministeri vakuuttaa maansa pystyvän taistelemaan tarvittaessa yksin. Miten käy Yhdysvaltojen aseiden toimitusten? Lue lisää!

Israelin ja Gazan välisen konfliktin kiihtyessä pääministeri Netanyahu on vakuuttanut Israelin kykenevän taistelemaan tarvittaessa yksin ja jopa 'taistelemaan kynsin ja hampain'. Presidentti Bidenin uhka keskeyttää aseiden toimitukset on herättänyt kiivasta keskustelua. Palestiinalaisasukkaat kertovat Israelin iskeneen Rafahin alueelle torstaina, kun tulitaukoneuvottelut päättyivät tyhjinä. Presidentti Bidenin aseiden uhkaus on herättänyt epävarmuutta Israelissa ja voisi merkitä loppua 'avokätiselle' tuelle.

Israelin ja Hamasin välisen konfliktin keskellä Bidenin varoitus Israelille mahdollisesta aseiden katkaisemisesta on epäselvä asiantuntijoiden mukaan, mutta se voisi merkitä lopun 'avokätiselle' tuelle. Yhdysvallat on historiallisesti tarjonnut valtavia määriä sotilaallista apua Israelille. Israelilaiset sotilasvastustajat vetoavat Bideniin asekriitikon tukemiseksi. Tal Mitnick ja Sofia Orr ovat vankilassa kieltäytyneet palvelemasta Israelin armeijassa ja vetoavat Bideneen avun saamiseksi Gazaan kohdistuvan sodan lopettamiseksi.
