\n President Joe Biden warned Israel against occupying Gaza in one of his most notable public calls for restraint as the Israelis respond to this month\u2019s terror attacks by Hamas.\n <\/p>\n

\n In an interview with CBS\u2019 \u201c60 Minutes\u201d that aired Sunday, Biden said it would be a \u201cbig mistake\u201d for Israel to occupy Gaza. Israel has been signaling it is preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza, even as a humanitarian crisis grows inside the coastal Palestinian enclave. Biden has called for the protection of civilians, and the United States has been working to alleviate shortages of food, water and gas.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhat happened in Gaza, in my view, is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don\u2019t represent all the Palestinian people,\u201d Biden told interviewer Scott Pelley.\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden said he believes Hamas should be eliminated entirely, \u201cbut there needs to be a Palestinian Authority. There needs to be a path to a Palestinian state.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The comments amount to one of the few times the US president has called on Israel to use some sort of restraint in responding to the Hamas attacks that left 1,400 Israelis dead. In its response, Israel unleashed a massive bombing campaign against the northern Gaza Strip, from which Hamas launched its attack.\n <\/p>\n

\n Michael Herzog, the Israeli ambassador to the United States, told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper on Sunday that Israel does not intend to occupy Gaza after the conflict ends.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe have no desire to occupy or reoccupy Gaza. We have no desire to rule over the lives of more than 2 million Palestinians,\u201d Herzog said.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the \u201c60 Minutes\u201d interview, Biden notably did not say it was time for a ceasefire.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cLook, there\u2019s a fundamental difference. Israel is going after a group of people who have engaged in barbarism that is as consequential as the Holocaust,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cSo I think Israel has to respond. They have to go after Hamas. Hamas is a bunch of cowards. They\u2019re hiding behind the civilians. \u2026 The Israelis are gonna do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The situation in Gaza has quickly become a humanitarian disaster, and the Israelis told civilians living in the northern part of the area to evacuate to the south ahead of an anticipated invasion. However, many human rights organizations have called that impossible as Israeli strikes have damaged infrastructure and Palestinians face a lack of housing in one of the most densely populated places on Earth.\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden told Pelley he believes that there needs to be a humanitarian corridor to help civilians trapped amid the fighting and that Israel will abide by the \u201crules of war.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019m confident that Israel is going to act under the measure \u2026 the rules of war,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThere\u2019s standards that democratic institutions and countries go by. And so I\u2019m confident that there\u2019s gonna be an ability for the innocents in Gaza to be able to have access to medicine and food and water.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The president said he does not anticipate American troops engaging in combat in the area as Israel readies its ground counterattack. The US will provide Israel \u201ceverything they need,\u201d Biden said.\n <\/p>\n

\n He added \u201cthere is no clear evidence\u201d that Iran is behind the attacks on Israel.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cNow, Iran constantly supports Hamas and Hezbollah,\u201d Biden said. \u201cI don\u2019t mean that. But in terms of were they, did they have fore knowledge; did they help plan the attack? There\u2019s no evidence of that at this point.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
