Trump calls on Israel to ‘end as soon as possible’ Gaza war
On July 25, the Republican presidential candidate Trump called on Israel to “end the war with Hamas as soon as possible”. It was reported that Trump made this statement in an interview with Fox News Channel on the 25th. He also said that Israel must better manage its “public relations”. It was reported that Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is visiting the United States, on the 26th. Netanyahu delivered a speech to the US Congress on the 24th, reiterating that the Israeli army’s goal is to achieve “complete victory”. He said: “Israel will continue to fight until it destroys Hamas’s military capabilities and its rule in the Gaza Strip and brings the detained Israeli personnel home. This is a complete victory. We will not do anything less.” This is Netanyahu’s first visit abroad since the new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict broke out in October last year. His speech on the 24th was seen as a defense of the Israeli army’s actions. The Palestinian Gaza Strip is currently in a humanitarian disaster, with more than 39,000 people killed in Israeli military operations, and the international community is calling for a ceasefire and an end to the war.
