Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the United States Parliament Congress, thinks that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign soon for the sake of Israel’s welfare. He also referred to Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace in the Middle East. News from CBS News.

In an interview given to Radio Telefis Yeren, Pelosi said, “Israel certainly has the right to defend itself and we recognize that; But the policy that Netanyahu has taken and what he is doing to protect this right is appalling and we reject it.

What could be worse than what he is doing, especially in response to the October 7 attacks. His government’s intelligence chief resigned after accepting responsibility for the attack, and he should resign as well. He is fully responsible for what has happened in the last six months.

In response to the question whether he considers Netanyahu to be an obstacle to peace in Al Aqsa and the Middle East region, the former House Speaker said, of course. I do not know whether he is afraid of peace, unable to live in peace or indifferent to peace. But he has been standing as the biggest obstacle in the way of two-state solution for a long time.

In the interview, the senior leader of the Democratic Party also called on the Biden administration to stop the supply of arms to Israel.

On October 7, Hamas entered Israeli territory through the northern Erez border of Gaza and killed 1,200 Israelis and citizens of other countries by firing indiscriminately. Along with that, 240 people were taken as hostages.

In response, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began operations in Gaza from that day. Over the past six months, the Gaza Strip has been reduced to rubble and more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed. Most of the dead were children, women and civilians.

The Hamas-IDF announced a temporary truce between Qatar, Egypt and the United States between 25 November and 1 December. During that break, Hamas released 108 of its hostages. On the other hand, Israel also released 150 Palestinians from prisons in various prisons in the country.

After that break, the three countries that brokered a second ceasefire in Gaza were working on it. It was supposed to start from the month of Ramadan this year; But mainly because of Netanyahu’s objections, it didn’t happen anymore.

The United States has been Israel’s most trusted ally since its founding in 1947. Washington has been providing military, economic, political and intelligence support to the only Jewish state in the world since its inception.

US politicians supported the operation at the initial stage after the Hamas ambush and the Israeli military operation in Gaza in response to it on October 7. Pelosi was among them.
