Defense Minister Yoav Gallant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/live-blog\/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-netanyahu-vows-nothing-will-stop-us-rcna129682\">told<\/a> Sullivan\u2064 on Thursday that the war would continue for &#8220;more than several months, but we will win,&#8221; according to NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing will stop us,&#8221; said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u200c Wednesday. &#8220;We are \u2063going on to the end, until victory, nothing less.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Biden Criticizes Israel&#8217;s Bombing of Gaza Strip<\/h3>\n<p>As the war has \u2064progressed, the president has been increasingly critical of Netanyahu. Biden on Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/biden-israel-starting-lose-support-over-indiscriminate-bombing-gaza-2023-12-12\/\">called<\/a> Israel&#8217;s bombing of the Gaza Strip \u200d&#8221;indiscriminate&#8221; and said it is causing Israel to \u200dlose support among other nations. Over 18,000 Palestinians, mostly women\u2064 and children, have died in\u200c the conflict, according to the \u2062Hamas-run health ministry \u2064in Gaza.<\/p>\n<h3>Americans Show Support for Israel&#8217;s War on Hamas<\/h3>\n<p>Americans generally support\u200c Israel&#8217;s war on Hamas,\u200d according to a <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/americans-back-israels-war-on-hamas-poll-finds\/\">poll<\/a> from earlier this week.

The Biden administration, like\u2062 many international leaders, is concerned about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vermont-rep-becca-balint-becomes-first-jewish-member-of-congress-to-back-ceasefire\/\" title=\"Vermont Rep. Becca Balint becomes first Jewish member of Congress to back ceasefire\">humanitarian\u2064 crisis unfolding<\/a> in the region and the long-lasting impact it will have on the stability of\u200c the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>By calling for a shift in strategy, the Biden administration is \u2062signaling its support for Israel&#8217;s right\u200c to\u200c defend itself\u200c against \u2062Hamas but also its \u2063desire\u200c for a more targeted approach that minimizes civilian casualties and the destruction of \u200bcritical infrastructure. The use of \u200dspecial forces would allow for precise strikes on high-value targets\u200b while minimizing collateral damage.<\/p>\n<p>However, this push for de-escalation may strain\u200d the relationship between the\u2063 United\u200b States and\u2063 Israel, as the\u200c Israeli\u200b government has been pursuing an aggressive \u2064military campaign against \u2064Hamas \u200bin\u2063 response to rocket attacks launched from\u2063 the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has vowed to \u2063&#8221;bring back quiet and security&#8221; to Israeli citizens, and it is unclear how open he will be to changing tactics at this crucial juncture.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063United States has long been a staunch ally of\u2062 Israel, providing significant\u2062 military and financial assistance. However, tensions have arisen between the Biden administration and the Israeli government over\u200b issues such as \u2062the Iran nuclear deal and Israeli settlements \u200cin the West Bank. This \u2063latest disagreement over military\u200b strategy\u200c in \u200cthe conflict with \u2062Hamas \u200cfurther underscores the complex nature \u2064of the U.S.-Israel relationship.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be \u2063seen how the Israeli government will respond to the Biden administration&#8217;s\u2064 push for\u200d de-escalation. The\u2064 conflict with \u2063Hamas has already\u200c caused immense suffering and \u200bdevastation, and finding a\u2064 path towards a lasting peace will be a daunting challenge. \u2064As\u200d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-journalist-imprisoned-in-russia-loses-appeal-against-detention-on-spy-charge\/\" title=\"US journalist imprisoned in Russia fails to overturn detention on spy charge.\">international community watches closely<\/a>, there is hope that diplomatic efforts and \u200da willingness to engage \u200din constructive dialogue \u200dcan help \u200cbring an end to the \u200dviolence and pave the way \u2064for a more stable future \u2064in\u2062 the region.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli soldiers ride in an armored personnel carrier near the Israel-Gaza border amid the ongoing conflict.
