Former US President Barack Obama warns against ignoring the complexities of the war on Gaza, noting that “nobody’s hands are clean.”
During an interview on Pod Save America, Former US President Barack Obama commented on the Israeli war on Gaza saying, “Nobody’s hands are clean”.
“[I]f you want to solve the problem, then, you have to take in the whole truth,” Obama said in a podcast clip posted to X on Saturday.
“And you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” the former president continued. “I look at this and I think back, ‘What could I have done during my presidency, to move this forward?’ as hard as I tried. I’ve got the scars to prove it.”
In his statement, Obama both condemned Hamas and extended sympathy toward the innocent civilians in Gaza, adding “What Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it. And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”
