Hamas attack was horrific, but Israeli attacks ‘unbearable’ – Obama

Hamas attacks on Israel were “horrific”, but the Israeli occupation and what Palestinians are suffering is “unbearable,” said former US President Barack Obama.

He also said that “nobody’s hands are clean” in the ongoing Israel-Hamas crisis.

Obama’s comments were made in Pod Save America podcast published on Saturday.

“And what is true is that there are people right now who are dying who have nothing to do with what Hamas did,” he added.

The former US president also said that it is “hard to feel hopeful. The images of families mourning, of bodies being pulled from rubble, force a moral reckoning on all of us.”

Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip killed more than 9,400 innocent Palestinians.
