Biden’s Ramadan Message: Standing with Gaza
US President Joe Biden addresses suffering in Gaza and celebrates Ramadan
US President Joe Biden, who has faced criticism for his strong support of Israel, has made a statement regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the occasion of Ramadan. In his statement, Biden expressed his recognition of the suffering experienced by the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Biden acknowledged the devastation caused by the war in Gaza, citing the high number of civilian casualties, including thousands of children. He emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian aid for the more than 2 million displaced Palestinians, including access to food, clean water, medicine, and shelter.
The US President announced that the United States is taking action to establish a temporary port on the Gaza coast to facilitate the delivery of aid by air, land, and sea. Additionally, Biden stated that efforts are underway to secure an immediate ceasefire lasting at least 6 weeks as part of a broader agreement for the release of hostages.
Addressing the long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine, Biden reiterated his support for a two-state solution as the only viable political resolution. He emphasized the importance of promoting peace and stability in the region.
In his statement, Biden also condemned Islamophobia in the United States and highlighted the contributions of Muslim immigrants to the country. He announced the development of a National Strategy to Combat Islamophobia during his term in office.
Despite facing criticism from some members of the American Arab and Muslim community, Biden remains committed to resolving the crisis in Gaza and promoting peaceful coexistence in the region. While efforts have been made to secure a ceasefire, concerns remain about the US’s ongoing support for Israel in the conflict.
As the situation in Gaza continues to unfold, President Biden’s statement serves as a reminder of the importance of humanitarian assistance and diplomatic efforts to address the needs of those affected by the conflict.
