State Department Spox: ‘Some Idea of Total Victory Is Not Going to Make Israel Safer’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: “And I will say, the point that the president made in his remarks on Friday, that you've seen the secretary say a few times, is that endless conflict in Gaza, in pursuit of some idea of total victory, is not going to make Israel safer. We agree with Israel that Hamas cannot run Gaza. We agree with Israel on Israel’s right and Israel’s obligation to pursue Hamas for the terrorist attacks of October 7th. But endless conflict without a political plan forward is just going to leave Israel bogged down in Gaza and is going to exacerbate the security challenges that they face in the north of Israel, it's going to exacerbate the security challenges they face in the West Bank, it’s going to exacerbate the security challenges they face against Iran and the proxies that it funds, because it makes it more difficult for Israel to work with its allies and its partners in the neighborhood."
