A day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed intentions to continue military operations in Gaza, a US State Department spokesperson has voiced opposition to such actions. The US believes that ongoing military operations in Gaza would only lead to prolonged conflict, instability, and insecurity for Israel.
Netanyahu's reference to 'mowing the grass' in Gaza was not explicitly defined, but US officials interpret it as a plan for sustained limited military activities. The US government asserts that continuous military engagement in Gaza would weaken Israel, hinder conflict resolution efforts, contribute to instability in the West Bank, and impede Israel's efforts to normalize relations with neighboring countries.
