The Security Council approved: an immediate cease-fire during Ramadan - and the unconditional release of all the abductees/Walla system!
"What we are witnessing is not a change in American policy, but a clash between two personalities," said a member of the American House of Representatives in an interview with the Jerusalem Post when he described the American abstention from voting on the UN Security Council's call for a ceasefire. The American politician claimed that this "Natural in any relationship", however he emphasized that according to him the US was wrong.
In the interview, Torres called the American avoidance a "mistake", because according to him it did not link the demand for a ceasefire with the demand for the release of the abductees. "The separation between the two demands gives leverage to Hamas in the war in negotiations for the abductees. I thought this was an error in judgment on the part of the US."
At the beginning of the week, the American congressman, together with the organization UJA, brought a delegation of local leaders and clerics from the district he represents - according to him , to convey the message "that Israel is not alone".

"President Biden has given Israel the time it needs to win the war, and we must succeed," Torres said. "The ultimate goal of removing Hamas from power must be clear - because if Hamas remains in power, there will never be an end to the violence and the bloodshed. Hamas intends to murder every Jew in Israel until the destruction of the Jewish state itself. No country should be expected to coexist with a terrorist organization like Hamas. To Israel There is no choice but to remove Hamas from power."
The delegation organized by Torres visited the Otaf settlements and heard testimonies from the survivors of the Nova festival, at the beginning of the tour the members of the delegation met with the Minister of Defense, Yoav Galant. "I have enormous empathy for the plight of the Secretary of Defense, who is conducting combat in the most complex war zones in human history," Torres said after the meeting. "Gaza is a hell of terror tunnels, trapped buildings and fighters disguised as civilians."
"I told the minister to ignore the messages and the background noise of American politics," said Torres. "Most Americans support Israel, most members of Congress support Israel."

"History tells us that the story of the Jewish people is a story of resilience"/Walla! Editor, Mark Israel Salem, The Jerusalem Post
"Despite the massacre, there is a determined optimism," stated the American congressman after many testimonies he heard from the October 7 massacre, "I cannot help but feel inspired by the optimism that is so deeply rooted in the Israeli DNA. History tells us that the story of the Jewish people is a story of Resilience, a story of rebuilding".
According to him, "Israel is the greatest example of a rebuilt civilization in human history. I am leaving the South shocked by the massacre that occurred on October 7, but also moved by the tireless optimism of the Israeli people." When Torres was asked if this trip will affect his policies or his actions when he returns to his district, he said that the trip will motivate him to "fight in his heart for the relationship between the US and Israel - which is worth preserving."
As mentioned, the organization UJA initiated the sending of the leaders to Israel. "The organization has a long record of leading important solidarity campaigns to Israel," said Hindi Popko, a senior official at the organization. "Especially following October 7, we increased our efforts to ensure that influential New Yorkers had the opportunity to testify about what happened here."
