We hold the U.S. administration responsible for the dangerous Israeli actions that are burning the entire region and pushing it into the abyss, the official said in a statement.

Abu Rudeina criticized Washington’s coverage of the Levantine nation’s crimes.

The spokesman denounced the ‘war of extermination to which our people are exposed’ by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

A week ago, he also blamed the White House for the Israeli military offensive against the Gaza Strip, which caused more than 35,000 deaths in over seven months.

Without the financial, diplomatic and military support of the northern power, Netanyahu ‘would not have dared to continue the genocide against the Palestinian people, whether in the Gaza Strip or in the West Bank’, he assured then.

He believed that peace and security in the Middle East will only be achieved with a just solution to the Palestinian question, including the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
