Daniel Levy on US support for Israel and how it will allow killing in Gaza to continue

“The gap that [US] Secretary Blinken apparently refers to is big enough to have created a graveyard for 7,000 Palestinian children so far.”

Daniel Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project and a former Israeli negotiator of the Oslo Accords, said in an interview with the BBC that unless the US changes their policy towards Israel, rather than just “carefully chosen words” about how concerned they are, Israel will continue the killing.

“If the American policy, which is what the Israelis are experiencing, is to appropriate funding for Israel's war, provide weapons for Israel's war, make sure that when there is discussion at the United Nations Security Council, if there's any meaningful resolution, America vetoes it. And for the US government to continue parroting key Israeli propaganda, talking points and disinformation, as long as that's the case, then I think the Israeli leadership will feel very comfortable that they have a lot of running room left to continue with the killing, whether in southern Gaza, elsewhere”
