for the International Peace Forum, “Israelis must listen to the Americans” who call on them to protect civilians

“The Israelis have no choice, they must listen to the Americans”assures Ofer Bronchtein, president of the International Forum for Peace, Sunday on franceinfo, after the President of the United States called on the Israeli Prime Minister to “protect” civilians in the Gaza Strip. “They’re going to have to listen to the boss [les Américains]” if they want “receive ammunition” or “receive guarantees” of security.

“It’s an apocalyptic crisis”, he adds. To hear it, “We don’t realize what the Palestinians are going through at the moment: it’s winter, diseases are spreading, there’s no longer anything to eat or drink, it’s terrible.” At the same time, “Israel wants to find its hostages”. Gold, “the price of finding them is stopping the fire.”

“Even if the Israeli statements are still strong,” like “we will win, etc.”, the country’s authorities “know today that public opinion will not forgive them for not bringing security and hostages back to Israel”, assures the one who is also in charge of mission to Emmanuel Macron with a view to an Israeli-Palestinian rapprochement.
