“No Safe Refuge for Hamas Anywhere in Gaza”
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, addresses the pressure Israel faces amidst ongoing conflict. Highlighting the ironclad support from the United States, despite disagreements on the conduct of the war in Gaza, Erdan emphasizes the shared goal of eradicating Hamas due to the threat it poses not just to Israelis but also to Palestinians in Gaza.
Ambassador Erdan articulates Israel's commitment to minimizing civilian casualties while stressing the necessity of military operations in Rafah to dismantle Hamas's remaining power. Despite international concerns, he underscores Israel's difficult position, forced into action by the massacre on October 7th.
The discussion also touches upon Israel's diplomatic efforts, including a high-level delegation sent to Washington, D.C., to explore alternative strategies that might preclude a military operation in Rafah. Yet, Erdan is candid about the challenges and the seeming inevitability of further action against Hamas.
Further, Erdan responds to comments from U.S. State Department officials and addresses the complicated relationship with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, particularly regarding Schumer's stance on Israeli politics during wartime.
As the United Nations prepares to vote on a ceasefire resolution led by the United States, Erdan shares his reservations but acknowledges the resolution's potential to condemn Hamas explicitly and tie the ceasefire to the release of hostages.
