Washington: The presidential election in America has reached an interesting turn. Here at least 55 percent of the people believe that the person who will end the Israel-Gaza war will be elected to power. Meanwhile, Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump and Democrats’ undeclared candidate Kamala Harris have both started working on resolving this issue. First Trump has assured Palestine that everything will be fine. And now Kamala Harris has also expressed her intention. She said that she will not remain silent on the Gaza tragedy. It can be clearly understood from this that both want to bring Netanyahu to their side. Whichever of the two convinces Netanyahu to end the war, the people of America will be with him.
After meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US Vice President Kamala Harris while talking to the media said that ‘Israel has the right to defend itself, but how it does it matters. She expressed concern over the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, in which a large number of civilians are dying.’ Kamala Harris clearly said that she cannot turn away from the troubles of the people in Gaza.
Ups and downs in the relationship between Biden and Netanyahu
It is known that Netanyahu visited the White House for the first time after the year 2020. The last time he visited the White House, the US President was Donald Trump. This meeting has taken place at a time when pressure is mounting to end the nine-month-long war in Gaza. Dozens of Israeli hostages are still held by Hamas and more than 39 thousand people have died in Gaza. The relationship between Netanyahu, the leader of the right-wing Likud Party, and Biden, the leader of the centrist Democratic Party, has seen ups and downs in recent years. Netanyahu and Harris last had a face-to-face conversation in 2021, but she has been involved in more than 20 talks between Biden and Netanyahu.
What move did Trump make
Before his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump had told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that everything will be fine. Donald Trump had said on the social media platform ‘Truth Social’, “Looking forward to meeting Bibi Netanyahu on Friday, and even more looking forward to establishing peace in the Middle East.” Mahmoud Abbas wrote in his letter dated July 14, “I got the news of the deadly attack on you and later saw the footage of it, this is a very serious matter.” Trump posted a screenshot of this letter, which also had a handwritten reply from Trump. Trump had written, “Mahmoud, very good. Thank you. Everything will be fine.”
