Biden appears determined to enable Hamas to survive.
“Biden warns Netanyahu against escalation as risk of regional war grows,” by Barak Ravid, Axios, August 2, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
President Biden privately demanded in a “tough” call Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stop escalating tensions in the region and move immediately toward a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, two U.S. officials told Axios….
Behind the scenes: At the end of the meeting with Netanyahu in the Oval office last Thursday, Biden became emotional, raised his voice and told Netanyahu he needs to reach a Gaza deal as soon as possible, three Israeli officials with knowledge of the meeting told Axios.
“Biden raised his voice and said he wants a deal reached within a week to two weeks,” a senior Israeli official said.
“Biden told Netanyahu that a hostage and ceasefire deal is the most important thing right now,” the Israeli official added.
Shortly after, when the president and the Israeli prime minister met with the families of the American hostages held in Gaza, Biden doubled down on his message to Netanyahu.
“We are at an inflection point … we need to do everything to end the war and reach regional stability, even if the deal is not perfect. Hamas wants the deal right now. It might change,” Biden told Netanyahu, according to the notes of one of the participants.
What they’re saying: “I had a very direct meeting with the prime minister today. Very direct,” Biden told reporters on Thursday night about his call with Netanyahu.
Biden said there is a basis for a ceasefire and stressed Netanyahu should “move on it now.”
When asked if the assassination of Hamas leader Haniyeh has ruined the chances for a deal, Biden said: “It hasn’t helped.”

Biden slow-walks or completely withholds weaponry already approved by Congress and desperately needed by Israel, and gives billions of dollars to Iran, enabling it to fund its proxies to escalade the jihad against Israel and, ultimately, the USA. How I’d this not treason? How is this not insanity? Why is Biden still in the White House? Impeach him, for god sake.

I hope that Hamas surrenders and releases all the hostages. That will call for an immediate ceasefire. Anything less is just a hudna, a ceasefire for them to rebuild and rebuild they will. Biden and the toadies who peddle his brain are bringing on far worse conflicts with their hair brained and treacherous scheming.

Looks like Biden/Harris want Hamas to win this war and reconstitute themselves in Gaza.
This totally unacceptable.

What more evidence is needed that Joe Biden converted to Shiite Islam under Obama and Obama adviser Valerie JarretM and is all-in for Islam against the world.

Can you imagine Biden telling Zelensky “Get a ceasefire with Russia and make a deal now, or else.” That means give up Ukrainian territory for Peace just as he is telling Israel to agree to a two state solution meaning give up a chuck or two of Israel …for Peace. Is there any proof that a Hamas not destroyed will simply spend time recruiting new members and building another army to replace the very weakened on Israel destroyed. And get ready for another Oct. 7th this time in 2028.
A much better ceasefire is one where the war as it is ends but Israel reserves the right to take out anyone in Gaza with a weapon, an RPG, or carrying on anti-Israel an anti-Semitic campaign. If Hamas shows all it wants to do is remain as Hamas, then attacks by Israel in Gaza is perfectly approved. And now ask the Israeli public if they want a two state solution. The answer will be the same if you ask the Ukrainian public if they want to give Russia chucks of their land for “Peace”.

Mr. Netanyahu has already, several times, said what has to be.
hamas wants a ‘deal’ in order to survive to slaughter, rape and torture another day. biden is all for that, as he is evil to the core. Ugly evil, inside and out.
And Israel is not the one “escalating” the violence in the ME. If Israel stops this minute, the murderous mozlums will go on killing, raping and “escalating” until Israel would either have to begin again, or go completely destroyed.
biden and his gang….including the hideous harris…are all evil and support evil.
Israel cannot allow evil to dictate.

Biden and his anti-semitic regime are directly responsible for starting and perpetuating this war by funding the Iran regime.
