“…Lara Friedman, a former U.S. foreign service officer in the Middle East and now president of the Foundation of Middle East Peace, says that absent support from the Biden administration or leading advocacy groups, those supporting a cease-fire will be called anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and pro-Hamas. ‘That’s a hard place to put yourself,’ she says.”

…”Lara Friedman, president of the Washington-based Foundation for Middle East Peace, said the Biden administration has made it clear that there are no red lines for Israel. ‘That includes not putting any red lines on where Palestinians end up,’ she said. ‘You’re not saying they can’t do it publicly and you’re already pulling together funding to support it if it happens. How can you not see that as a green light?’… Friedman of the Foundation for Middle East Peace also sees a troubling trend among analysts who say that Israel hasn’t defined its end game and that there is no military solution in Gaza, which she said ‘ignores the possibility of ending Palestinians in Gaza’. ‘Then whatever is left, whatever percentage of Palestinians from Gaza survive, are somebody else’s problem because they aren’t in Gaza anymore. That is a military solution, Friedman said.”
“To at least not consider that that is the objective here feels to me like analytical malfeasance.”
