US Ambassador Reveals New International Force Operating in West Bank to Ease Tensions
Mike Herzog, the US Ambassador to Israel, disclosed in an interview with Channel 13 news that a new joint international mechanism involving Canada and several European countries is currently active in the West Bank. This force aims to reduce tensions in the region. Herzog emphasized that the United States intends to impose severe consequences on anyone involved in terror activities designed to intimidate residents in their homes.
Regarding Gaza, Herzog commented on a meeting between Jared Kushner and Hamas leaders, describing it as excellent and friendly. During the meeting, a clear message was delivered to Hamas that they would not participate in any future governance of the Gaza Strip and would be required to disarm.
On the issue of Iran, the ambassador rejected claims that President Donald Trump avoided military action due to the timing of the midterm elections. Herzog stated that Trump prefers a scenario where Iran acknowledges it will not acquire nuclear weapons over war, but the timing will not delay necessary action if required.
