US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and Middle East advisor Jared Kushner, US Ambassador to the Zionist entity David Friedman and special Mideast adviser Jason Greenblatt accused Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas on Thursday of producing “misery for the people of Gaza”, saying that unless Hamas radically changes or is replaced, “there is no good option.”
In a joint article written in the Washington Post entitled “Help is at hand for Palestinians. It’s all up to Hamas,” the three officials lay the blame for Gaza’s economic and humanitarian woes squarely at the Hamas’ doorstep, saying that it prevents any progress in the peace process by pursuing a “morally bankrupt, decades-old war that has long been lost.”
The US officials said that “one reality was painfully clear: The nightmare of Hamas’s leadership is continuing and needlessly prolonging the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza.”
The three urged Hamas to follow most countries in the Middle East in acknowledging that the existence of the Zionist entity is a “permanent reality”, adding that the group is fighting its war “at the expense of the Palestinian people.”
The trio said that the life for Palestinians, could “swiftly and significantly improve if Hamas allowed it.”
“There are engaged, interested parties with resources who are ready to get to work. Yet without real change accompanied by reliable security, progress is impossible,” they noted.
