Islamic Jihad: US, Israel pursue identical goals in Gaza
A senior resistance official says, despite the United States’ pretenses, the country and the Israeli regime pursue identical goals in the Gaza Strip, which is enduring a Washington-backed genocidal war by the regime.
Mohammad al-Hindi, deputy secretary-general of the Gaza-based resistance movement of the Islamic Jihad, made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Press TV on Friday.
“In this aggression, there is American agreement with Israel. And the American administration is a complete accomplice with Israel, despite the crocodile tears, which they (the Americans) are shedding,” he said.
The Israeli regime began the war on October 7 in response to a retaliatory operation staged by Gaza’s resistance movements. The military onslaught has so far killed more than 31,500 people, mostly women, children, and adolescents.
The US has been alleging concerns about the extent of the fatalities. Some US officials have also claimed that the Israeli regime would not be able to realize its war goal of eliminating Hamas, the Islamic Jihad’s fellow Gaza-based resistance group. In action, however, Washington has been lending all-out political, military, and intelligence support to the war.
As part of its consistent political patronage for the regime, the US has so far vetoed three United Nations Security Council resolutions that have called for implementation of an immediate ceasefire in the Israeli aggression.
