Over the past week President Biden and his administration have made it clear that they do not want Israel to win the war Hamas terrorists started on October 7.
Biden and Tony Blinken, his secretary of state, don’t want Israel to achieve its main objective which is to eliminate Hamas’s threat to its national existence. They want to tether Israel to a very short leash. Consider the following. (READ MORE from Jed Babbin: Israel Lost the Initiative)
Last week, Biden said that he would consider limits on aid to Israel dependent on its conduct of the war.
In a press conference in Israel on Thursday, Blinken said that Hamas cannot remain in control of the Gaza Strip and then went on to prescribe limits on Israeli military action that would have that exact result.
Both Biden and Blinken have been pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his war cabinet to extend the cease fire. On Thursday, Blinken said it was “imperative to the United States that the massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale we saw in northern Gaza not be repeated in the south.” He added that Israel must take “more effective steps to protect the lives of civilians.”
