The former US president, who said 'nobody's hands are clean' in the Israel-Hamas war, said the conflict presented two seemingly contradictory truths that needed to be acknowledged.
Everyone shares some responsibility for the Hamas-Israel war, says former United States president Barack Obama, who has also questioned whether his administration could have done more to push for peace between Israel and Palestinians. "If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth.
"In particular, it matters — as President Biden has repeatedly emphasized — that Israel’s military strategy abides by international law, including those laws that seek to avoid, to every extent possible, the death or suffering of civilian populations," he said at the time . Washington has maintained its robust support for Israel but has also began advocating for temporary humanitarian pauses to allow aid into Gaza.
