Biden also called for an immediate ceasefire “to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians, and he urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home.” Because nothing says solidarity quite like rewarding the enemy of your closest ally in the Middle East for using Palestinians — and American hostages — as human shields.
These demands, coming on the heels of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) call for new elections in Israel as well as the U.S.’s failure to veto a UN security council resolution that called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza last month, leaves many of us wondering just whose side the Biden administration is really on.
Since the president’s initial display of support for Netanyahu in the immediate aftermath of the deadly Oct. 7 attacks, his actions show he is more interested in protecting the terrorists than the people of Israel.He also told Politico he had “the tacit support of several Arab leaders for driving ahead” in the war with Hamas. “They understand that, and even agree with it quietly,” he said. “They understand Hamas is part of the Iranian terror axis.”
Netanyahu estimated the invasion of Rafah “would not take more than two months. Maybe six weeks, maybe four. … We’ve destroyed three-quarters of Hamas’s fighting terrorism battalions. And we’re close to finishing the last part in warfare.”It’s worth noting that although the IDF took full responsibility for the tragic error that triggered Biden’s offensive phone call to Netanyahu last Thursday, it may not have been all their fault. The IDF’s investigation suggests that Hamas fighters may have been involved.
In her Monday podcast, veteran Israeli journalist Caroline Glick said that, according to an IDF report she had obtained, the WCK convoy may have been “trapped by Hamas deliberately.”
