The U.S. government was able to unify Israel and the terrorist group Hamas on one key issue: Both sides now agree that President Joe Biden has undergone a shift on policy toward America's Jewish ally.
Israel decried and Hamas praised an abstention by the U.S. from a United Nations Security Council vote Monday that called for a cease-fire without demanding the release of the remaining hostages. While the U.S. asserts that the resolution is nonbinding, experts say it is.
Regardless, Hamas, the terrorist group that occupies and runs Gaza, is now more emboldened to do nothing in hostage negotiations.
"Regarding the American administration, there is no doubt that there are clear changes in its policy towards Israel," Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad told Newsweek. "And this is perhaps due to the stupid and foolish policy of the occupying state, which commits genocide, killing civilians, and starvation.
"America has found that Israel is putting it in an awkward position before the world, and it cannot justify its retaliatory actions against civilians. America also feels that Israel is floundering and is not achieving any of the goals it has set for itself."
