Biden Accused Of Helping Hamas As Israelis Fume Over Threat To Halt Weapons

Israeli leaders are furious after the evening prior CNN published an interview with president Biden wherein he laid out that the US will hold all offers from Israel if it moves forward with a full-scale invasion of Rafah.

In a message to both Israel’s ‘enemies and best friends’ – clearly a mention to Washington – defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday vowed that Israel “will achievements [its] goals in the north and south.”

‘I say from here to Israel’s enemies and its best friends: The State of Israel can not be subdued — not the IDF, not the defence Ministry, not the defence establishment, not the State of Israel. We will stand, we will accomplish our goals, we will hit Hamas, we will destruct Hezbollah, and we will bring security,” Gallant said.

"Whatever the cost, we will estimation the existence of the State of Israel and remember well the direct we signed just a week ago during the Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony, the words ‘Never Again.’ For me, it’s not just a directive, it’s a work plan. This is how the defence establishment will work and this is how the IDF will work,” he added.

‘We have no choice, we have no another country. We will do whatever is necessary, and I repeat – whatever is necessary, in order to defend the citizens of Israel, to remove the evil threes against us, and to stand up to those who effort to destruct us.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu besides responded, but just as with Gallant he has not named Biden or the United States directly...

But others were more blunt and direct, claiming that Biden with this decision is 'helping Hamas':

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stood bluntly that the strong American opposition would only reinvigorate Israel’s drive to destruct Hamas.

“We must proceed this war until Victory, despite, and to a certificate degree precisely due to the fact that of, the opposition of the administration Biden and the stopping of armies ships,’ he said in a statement. “We simply have no another choice that does not endanger our existence and security.”

National safety Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, a firebrand who leads the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, tweeted simply that “Hamas [loves] Biden.”

Former president Donald Trump agreed, writing in a message that Biden withholding defence transportation is tantamount to siting with the terrorists.

Part of his message besides included the words «Biden is weak, corrupt, and leading the planet consecutive into planet War III. Remember – this war in Israel, just like the war in Ukraine, would have had Never started if I was in the White House. But very soon, we will be back, and one more time demanding PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!”

The Rafah mission appears to inactive be on, and Israel’s message of failure in consequence to Biden let that be known. meantime Israel’s Walla News is reporting that the Hamas delegation has now left Cairo and that there has been no ceasefire breakthrough, with both sides one more time blaming the another for riding a deal.

Israel has previously damaged that Israel would give Hamas 1 week to accept the latest deal on the table (and that informing was issued last week), or else the military would go into Rafah. The refugee-packed confederate city of the Gaza Strip has in the last hours been getting hammered by airstrikes, as tens of thousands of civilians scramble to get out.

Biden had controversially in the CNN interview which active the Israelis, “I’ve made it clear to Bibi (Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) and the war cabinet: They’re not going to get our support if they go [into] these population centers.”

‘Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of these bombs and another ways in which they go after population centers,’ Biden said. ‘I made it clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gone in Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not providing the weathers that have been utilized historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities — that deal with that problem.’

“We’re going to proceed to make certain Israel is safe in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the mediate East recently,” Biden continued before spelling out: “But it’s, it’s just a crow. We’re not going to — we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells.”

Biden is now getting pushback at home too, with Congressional leaders demanding answers as to why Washington’s close Mideast ally is being beaten with the holding of vital US defence aid...
