PNN – Former US President Barack Obama, in his new statements about the war in Gaza, called for security for the Zionist regime, the formation of an independent state, and the end of the occupation of Palestinian lands.
According to the Pakistan News Network from “Hail”, Obama acknowledged that all American officials have a role in the formation of the current situation in Gaza and said: “No one’s hands are clean.”
“If you want to solve the problem, you have to consider the whole truth,” Obama said in an audio message on social media X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
The former president continued: So we must admit that no one’s hands are clean and we all have a role to some extent. I think to myself, what could I have done during my presidency to promote peace? Although I tried, these efforts did not work.
Speaking at the Democracy Forum, Obama said these conflicts come after decades of failure to achieve lasting peace for both Israelis and Palestinians.
He emphasized: A peace that is based on real security for Israel, recognition of its right to exist, and based on the end of the occupation and the creation of a stable Palestinian state and self-determination for its people.

Obama continued: I admit; it is impossible to be neutral about this killing. It is hard to be hopeful in this situation. Images of grieving families and bodies being pulled from the rubble impose a moral awakening on all of us.
Previously, former US President Barack Obama supported the crimes committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza, and at the same time admitted that the deterioration of the situation could destroy what he called “global support for Israel”.
In a long statement, Obama condemned the attacks of Hamas and emphasized the right of the Zionist regime to defend itself and the necessity of following “international laws”.
He wrote in this statement: “Even when we support Israel, we must clarify how it follows the current war with Hamas.” As President Biden has emphasized many times, it is especially important that Israel follows international laws in advancing its military strategy; Among the laws that demand to refrain as much as possible from the killing or suffering of the civilian population.
The former President of the United States added that maintaining international laws is “vital for building coalitions and shaping international opinion” and emphasized that this task is very difficult to perform.
He noted that military operations often endanger the lives of civilians.
In response to more than seven decades of occupation and oppression by the Zionist regime against the Palestinians, the Palestinian resistance forces launched a surprise operation called “Al-Aqsa Storm” from Gaza on the 7th of October 2023 against the positions of the occupation regime of Jerusalem, and this regime to retaliate and compensate for its defeat and cessation of resistance operations has closed all crossings in the Gaza Strip and is currently bombarding this area.
