Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that an invasion is likely as the situation at the Gaza border deteriorated. According to Vivek Ramaswamy, a ground assault without specific goals could have negative effects.
Vivek Ramaswamy said this on the show “How to avoid World War III”
The Republican, who is 38 years old, spoke on the invasion of Gaza while appearing on a Tucker Carlson episode named “How to Avoid World War III.” He said he is worried that this is going to lead to a war which is not good for Israel, without a clear goal, and also it is not good for the United States,” Ramaswamy said Carlson when the two of them appeared alongside the well-known American presenter on X. What is your genuine objective, if we’re talking to Israel, is one of the things we need to know.
Without a specific goal, the impending ground assault of Gaza will be devastating for both Israel and the United States. Although it is blatantly and increasingly clear, no one else in the GOP has the guts to say it, according to Ramaswamy, who reaffirmed his points in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Prior to this, Ramaswamy emphasized the need of border defense and security, noting the most recent Hamas attack on Israel as a reminder of the necessity of beinvigilant in guarding borders. In order to address weaknesses in border defense, cybersecurity, missile defense, and space-based defenses, he urged a review of U.S. foreign policy priorities.
