In his statements, John Kirby, spokesman for National Security of the White House, clarified that Hamas continues to pose a threat to the Israeli people.
The spokesman for the strategic communications of the National Security Council of the US presidency, John Kirby, said during a televised interview on Sunday that Washington considers that, from a “military” point of view “only”, Israel has “executed most of the objectives it set”. when it began large-scale operations in the Gaza Strip on October 7, in retaliation for an unprecedented offensive by Hamas’ military arm in southern sectors of its territory.
However, he hastened to add that the US does not support that “Hamas does not have military capabilities. We are not saying that it does not continue to pose a threat to the Israeli people. It certainly raises.”
But “they don’t have the military capabilities to do what they did on October 7,” he insisted in an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week.”
Washington is pressuring Israel to conclude a ceasefire agreement under the three-phase road map presented on Friday by US President Joe Biden.
However, although the US government emphasizes that this is an “Israeli proposal” and expects that if “Hamas agrees” a deal will be made, Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right ministers are threatening to topple the government if one is concluded, and the Israeli prime minister’s office has released after Mr. Biden’s speech, a statement in which he repeated the “conditions” he describes as necessary for a “permanent” cease-fire: the “destruction” of Hamas, the “release of all hostages” and “the guarantee that Gaza will not now poses a threat” to Israeli security
