US’s charges against Hamas shows it is not an honest broker in talks: Analysis
Rami Khouri, a distinguished fellow at the American University of Bei-rut, said the US’s decision to charge Hamas’s top leaders hurts its role as a mediator in the ongoing conflict. The charges come “as no surprise,” Khouri told Al Jazeera from the US city of Boston. “The United States has been heavily, enthusiastically and vigorously supporting Israel in its current actions in Gaza – in what the UN calls a plausible genocide. And it has long opposed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, designating them as terrorist groups,” he said. That view, however, is challenged by much of the world, Khouri said, “especially in light of the UN affirmation and the Geneva protocols of 1949 saying that people who are subjugated under foreign occupation have the right to defend themselves by all means including armed resistance”.
