Ramallah, October 24 (RHC)-- Since the latest spate of violence between Israel and Palestinian resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip began, western countries, most notably the USA, have voiced their unequivocal support for Israel and ignored the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

U.S. President Joe Biden, visited Israel last week amid an intensified Israeli campaign of airstrikes on Gaza, having so far killed thousands of Palestinians as well as injuring over 13,000 in Gaza, the most densely populated strip of land in the world.

Biden has unequivocally defended the Israeli regime's ongoing genocide in the coastal Gaza Strip. Biden stressed that Washington would provide the embattled regime with everything it needed to "defend itself".

For decades we've ensured Israel's qualitative military edge and later this week I'm going to ask the United States Congress for unprecedented support package for Israel's defense.

U.S. President Joe Biden promised to ask Congress for an unprecedented military aid package for Israel to assist its ongoing war on Gaza.  Reports indicated that Biden was considering a supplemental request of about $10 billion for Israel.

It is feared that Joe Biden's unflinching backing of Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip could give the Tel Aviv regime the green light to commit mass atrocities or even genocide against the people of Palestine.

Reportedly Joe Biden has now told the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington is fully in support of Tel Aviv's plan to launch a ground invasion of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Earlier this week, the leader of Iran's Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, highlighted the role of the US in Israel's ongoing atrocities against the Palestinian people. Ayatollah Khomeini noted that numerous pieces of information suggest that the US is formulating the current policy enacted by the Zionist regime.

Multiple pieces of intelligence indicate that the policy pursued by the Israeli regime these days, ie, over the past week, was formulated by the Americans.  In other words, the policy-makers are the Americans.

The policy behind the current developments has been designed by the Americans. The Americans should acknowledge their responsibility in this regard.  They are responsible. 

The U.S. was the sole country to vote against the resolution on Wednesday.  Reports say the Pentagon, if needs be, will deploy around 2,000 troops to Israel to assist the occupying regime with its war against the besieged Gaza Strip.

The boots on the ground are set to be tasked with providing advisory and medical support only; the specifics of where and when the deployment will occur remain unclear.

The report comes after the Pentagon said it was moving another carrier group to the Mediterranean, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Strike Group, with a combined force of more than 5000 sailors, will join the USS Gerald Ford, which arrived off the coast of Israel last week.

For years polls have highlighted the overwhelming Arab support for Palestine as the foremost Arab cause and the growing hostility towards America, which is viewed as a destabilizing hegemonic force in the region.

There is the possibility that if the war really widens not only to include Gaza, but maybe the West Bank, that it will not only alienate Arab allies, but could potentially lead to the breaking of relations with Israel.

The Biden administration has rejected calls by Arab nations for de escalation or ceasefire, rendering the US complicit in present and future Israeli war crimes.  There's been hardly any American mention of the plight of the Palestinians during a week of vicious Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

First of all, Biden is only come here because he has a major role in this game, a major role in the aggression on our people, and he is providing the money and weapons to kill our people in Gaza and everywhere.

Currently Israel receives $3.8 billion annually in military aid from the US under a memorandum signed in 2019.  So what we have seen is that Israel has been allowed to do whatever it wants, when it comes to killing Palestinians, when it comes to stealing Palestinian land, when it comes to ethnic cleansing, when it comes to crossing the red lines that are enshrined in international law.

Israel is allowed to get away with it, and not only get away with it, but continues to receive support; and financial support from the United States, as well  U.S. military assistance accounted for about 16% of Israel's total military budget in 2022.
