According to reports, Richard Painter, a law professor and former senior ethics attorney at the White House, has joined prominent figures criticizing the warmongering tendencies of President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the region.<\/p>\n
In a message shared on social media, Painter stated, “Neither the United States nor Israel will gain from a new war; a conflict led by a U.S. president with extensive interests in the Middle East and an Israeli prime minister facing criminal charges both domestically and at the International Criminal Court. This madness must come to an end.”Painter also addressed Netanyahu and Trump directly asserting “It is possible to support Israel while believing that Netanyahu should step down. The same applies to Trump in the United States. The latest misguided argument from their supporters is that failing to minimize civilian casualties (even if hundreds of thousands are killed) does not constitute genocide. Neither of these two should be responsible for inciting war.” <\/p>\n
The interventionist policies of the United States and the military actions of the Israeli regime in recent years have plunged the Middle East into widespread instability. The increase in military presence including the deployment of vessels like the USS Abraham Lincoln in the region along with repeated threats has exacerbated tensions and undermined the prospects for diplomacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
