US President Joe Biden reportedly told Israel to Conclude war in Gaza by the end of this year, Politico said, citing three Israeli sources, on Friday.
Politico reviewed the latest statements of the Secretary of State Antony Blinken when he said that Israel may has “weeks” to end the fights in Gaza.
It also mentioned the statements of Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer that Washington didn't inform Israel with “firm deadline."
A senior Israeli official told Politico: “They advised us not to go into Gaza, but we did."
The official added: “We went into Gaza because that was the only way we could destroy Hamas and free our hostages. They told us, don’t go into the tunnels. But if we don’t go into the tunnels, there’s no way we can destroy Hamas. They told us not to go into the hospitals despite them being used by Hamas as command and control centers, but we went into those hospitals, and we did what we needed to do.”
The official expressed: “And we’ll do what we need to do to reach decisive victory."
