On Bloomberg’s Friday broadcast of “Balance of Power,” Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.) said that while America wants to remain Israel’s best ally, “the Biden administration… “Certainly I agree here, but we want to continue to be a very strong ally.” Opinions differ on how Israel is waging its war in Gaza. So whatever Israel is willing to do, regardless of America’s position, there will be consequences, and those will be seen in Congress and certainly in the administration’s actions. ”
“One of the questions is whether the United States should continue to supply offensive weapons that, in my view, Israel has used inappropriately and inhumanely in Gaza, but the regime has stopped,” Garamendi said. “At this point, we’re clearly not going to tolerate any more of this.” Some of the weapons sent to Israel. That’s one thing. The second thing is that Israel certainly has the right to defend itself, but it does not have the right to create a humanitarian crisis. So the war effort is at issue here. Third, can Israel ignore the United States? I don’t think that’s a wise move for Israel. The United States has been a major ally of Israel for more than 60 years, and we would like to continue to be that way, but the reality is that the Biden administration, and I certainly agree here, , have very strong objections to how Israel is conducting its wars. Gaza. So whatever Israel is willing to do, regardless of America’s position, there will be consequences, and those will be seen in Congress and certainly in the administration’s actions. ”
