Dzherelo: Bloomberg From messages sent to Israeli residents and people close to the order
Verbatim: “According to the words of Israeli officials and people close to the order, the entry of the United States already means the method of carrying out the offensive – closely, how to separate the victims among the 2 million civilians who live in Gaza – and the order’s plans so that after its completion.”
Details: Three senior Israeli officials, speaking anonymously, insist that the US role and involvement in the war against Hamas is greater and more intense than in the past.
Bloomberg says that Israel announced the land invasion of Gazi last Saturday. In the middle of this year, the Israeli army was already admitting that a ground attack “could be different, don’t you think.” In these words, you may get upset later and worry more, getting hot in your inability to do so.
Between these days there was a series of visits by high-ranking US officials, including the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, as well as President Joe Biden.
“President Biden is focused on changing the balance of the wider war to another front… This is a big deal,” said Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Eli Cohen in an interview.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated after Biden’s visit that agreement had been reached on “a plan to change the balance of forces in all theaters of military operations.”
Aboard Air Force One on the gateway to Washington, Biden said he spoke with the Israelis about a variety of “alternatives” to ground war through concerns about civilian casualties and the wider conflict.
