Washington: The Frontier Post (TFP) asked John Kirby, White House National Security Spokesperson during White House press briefing about the silence of President Biden administration about human rights violations committed by Israel against Palestine, to which John Kirby stated that since day one President Biden has spoken about the innocent lives with Israel and the American people. 

John Kirby stated that “no sir I disagree with you, since day one President Biden has spoken about the rules of war and that the assistance of first trucks which just reached Gaza took place because of the efforts of President Biden” after he spoke to President Sissi of Egypt and Prime Minister Natanyahu of Israel.

To another question by The Frontier Post that why President Biden does not work towards peace instead of saying that the United States can fight a war a two fronts meaning Ukraine and Israel, John Kirby said that “since day one this administration has been working towards prosperous and peaceful Middle East.” He further said that October 7 attacks on Israel were horrific and Israel has the right and obligation to defend itself. 

To another question by The Frontier Post that in the last couple of weeks the agenda of the two state solution to resolve the Israel and Palestine had been sabotaged, John Kirby replied by saying that “We still believe in the promise of a two state solution and that a key stepping  in this regard is the normalization of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia.” 

 John Kirby further added that “there is no change in our desire to see two states but “we are not blind to the reality that Israel has the right to defend itself.” John Kirby also said that the president does want to stop the expansion of this war so talks can be held on a table.
