Bush\u2064 Supports Israel Amid Hamas Attacks<\/h2>\n<p>Former President George W. Bush, known for his involvement in multiple\u200c wars\u2064 in the Middle\u2062 East, has made his first public comments\u2062 on\u200b the recent Hamas attacks targeting Israel and the \u200bresulting conflict. In a private event in\u2064 California, Bush \u200cexpressed unwavering support for\u2062 Israel, stating, &#8220;No\u200c ands, ifs, or buts, we need to support Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bush emphasized \u2064that Hamas, as a political organization, does \u2064not represent the majority of Palestinians. He\u200b also warned that Israel will take whatever actions necessary to defend \u2063itself.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/world\/hamas-attacks-and-israeli-response-divide-africa-with-some-governments-refusing-to-condemn-terrorist-atrocities-5509601?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Hamas Attacks and\u2063 Israeli Response Divide Africa, \u2063With Some Governments Refusing to\u200c Condemn Terrorist Atrocities<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; 10\/13\/2023<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/china\/israel-expresses-deep-disappointed-over-chinas-response-to-hamas-attack-5509691?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Israel Expresses &#8216;Deep \u200dDisappointment&#8217; Over China&#8217;s Response to Hamas\u200b Attack<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; 10\/13\/2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, facing a challenging situation in Israel, has \u2064called up 300,000 reservists. President Bush commented that while Netanyahu has a seasoned\u2064 military, many of \u200cthe reservists may\u2064 lack combat\u2063 experience. He expressed\u2064 curiosity about how Netanyahu\u200b will handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Iran&#8217;s involvement, Bush\u2064 admitted\u200c to \u200cnot having access to current intelligence. However, he acknowledged Iran&#8217;s history\u2062 of using \u2064surrogate terrorist groups. He also made\u2063 it \u2064clear that he never believed in\u200c accommodating Iran and \u200dpreventing them from \u2064acquiring nuclear weapons was crucial.<\/p>\n<p>President Bush responded to critics who questioned the United States&#8217; involvement, \u2063stating, &#8220;We should care.&#8221; He\u200d firmly believed that negotiating with Hamas, a group of \u2064killers, was\u200d not an option for the elected government of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing concerns about the conflict&#8217;s duration, Bush\u2063 predicted weariness and calls for negotiations. \u200cHowever,\u2062 he\u2063 emphasized that \u200bIsrael would not negotiate\u200c with those who seek to kill Israelis. He firmly \u2062stated, &#8220;One side is guilty, and\u200b it&#8217;s not Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some observers fear\u2062 that Israel&#8217;s response\u2062 to the Hamas \u2064attacks could escalate the\u2062 conflict and increase the death toll. The Israeli Defense Forces have \u2063launched significant airstrikes on Gaza, where Hamas operates,\u200d and there are reports of a potential invasion.<\/p>\n<p>The situation \u200cin Gaza has deteriorated, prompting the U.N.&#8217;s World \u200dHealth\u200c Organization to call for humanitarian aid. Hamas officials have reported civilian casualties, including children and\u200d women, from Israeli\u200d airstrikes.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli army has ordered Gaza residents to evacuate ahead of a possible ground invasion. The military has confirmed that ground forces are\u2062 now operating\u200d inside Gaza, aiming to fight Hamas, \u200cgather evidence, and destroy weapons.<\/p>\n<p>President Bush \u200bfaced similar allegations of escalating conflict \u200cfollowing the\u2064 9\/11 terrorist attacks. The Bush administration launched invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq, with \u200cthe latter based \u2062on false claims\u200b of weapons of mass \u200ddestruction.\u200b The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/george-w-bush-says-us-to-stand-with-israel-calls-hamas-cold-blooded-killers\/\" title=\"George W.
