Austin: America has no evidence of Israeli genocide in Gaza

In response to a related question to the US Senate Armed Services Committee about the genocide in Gaza, Lloyd Austin said: We have no evidence of this.

Meanwhile, the US Secretary of Defense, in a recent call with Israel’s War Minister Yoav Gallant, emphasized the “urgent need to dramatically increase the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza,” including the implementation of steps “approved by the Israeli War Cabinet.”

During the call with Gallant, and in light of the incident involving the killing of humanitarian aid workers at the World Central Kitchen, both officials discussed the ongoing investigation by the Israeli occupation forces.

Austin then emphasized “the need for procedural changes to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.”

The American foreign minister also emphasized the unhesitating support of the United States to Israel in the midst of the escalation of tensions in relation to Iran and the axis of resistance throughout the region.

On October 7, 2023, after the start of Al-Aqsa storm operation, the Zionist regime started brutal attacks against the people of Gaza, which continued.
The Gaza Ministry of Health reported that the number of martyrs in the attacks of the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip exceeded 33,000 people and nearly 76,000 people were injured.

The Russian Foreign Ministry asked the parties to stop the clashes. According to the positions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the resolution of the West Asia crisis is only possible based on the “two-state” formula approved by the United Nations Security Council, which provides for the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the framework of the United Nations Security Council.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which is related to the territorial interests of the parties, has been the cause of tension and conflict in the region for several decades. The decision of the United Nations, with the active role of the Soviet Union in 1947, determined the creation of two states – Israel and Palestine, but only Israel was created.
