Gaza - Washington: Europe and the Arabs
The number of martyrs of the Israeli air strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip rose to 31 people. Local authorities reported this on Sunday evening. A spokesman for the Civil Protection Agency in Gaza said that 20 injured people were also recovered from under the rubble, amid expectations that the number will increase in the coming hours.
Al-Aqsa Hospital had previously announced twenty deaths. The Palestinian Wafa News Agency reported that among the injured were children. Rescue workers are still searching for missing people who may still be trapped under the rubble. The Israeli army did not confirm the attack, but said it was investigating the information. According to what European media reports quoted from the Belgian News Agency (Belga).
According to media reports in The Hague, the Netherlands, US President Joe Biden faced clear protests yesterday, Sunday, during a speech he delivered to recent graduates of Morehouse College. The university in Atlanta, whose students are mostly black males, includes civil rights activist Martin Luther King as a former student.
Many students turned their chairs to turn their backs to Biden. One of the graduates raised the Palestinian flag, while another stood and turned around, raising his fist. Some students wore the keffiyeh, the black and white veil that symbolizes solidarity with the Palestinian cause, over their abayas.
Biden said in his speech that he is not immune to student protests against American support for Israel in the Gaza war, provided that they are “peaceful.” "I know this angers and frustrates many of you, including my family, but most of all it breaks your hearts. It breaks mine, too."
Biden stressed that he is working for "lasting peace" in the region. According to him, the “two-state solution,” with the establishment of a Palestinian state, is “the only solution.” “It is one of the most difficult and complex problems in the world. There is nothing easy about this situation,” the US President said.
Biden's speech at Morehouse College was part of his campaign for the November election. Biden hopes to restore relations with Americans angry at his unconditional support for Israel. According to what was reported by the Dutch News Agency on Monday morning
