President has said that people have “every reason” to believe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prolonging the Israeli onslaught in Gaza for his own political survival.
The president made the comments in an interview with Time Magazine, where he was asked, “Some in Israel have suggested that Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political self-preservation. Do you believe that?”
Biden replied, “I’m not going to comment on that. There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion.”
Polling has shown the majority of Israelis want Netanyahu to resign once the war on Gaza is over, so any pause in Israeli military operations would increase the domestic pressure on him.
Biden’s comments reflect a February report from NBC News that said the president privately expressed that “Netanyahu wants the war to drag on so he can remain in power.”
Despite holding that view of the Israeli leader, Biden has continued to provide military and diplomatic support for Netanyahu’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. Other reports have said US officials believe Netanyahu might view a wider regional war as key to his political survival, but the US still backed Israel after it bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
Biden unveiled a ceasefire proposal on Friday that he said would lead to an end to Israeli military operations in Gaza, but Netanyahu quickly rebuked him by saying a permanent ceasefire was a “non-starter.” Israeli officials believe Netanyahu’s comments might sabotage the chances of reaching a deal with Hamas.
It's more than staying in office, it's the Zionist agenda being implemented. Nice try, Biden, try and tell us it's all about Bibi's political situation; it isn't.
It is perfectly possible for the war to be about ethnic cleansing, and Bibi staying in power(at least for Bibi).
Indeed. Note that Trump's run for President is 99% about avoiding jail time. If he wins in November, "his" Supreme Court almost certainly declares him immune to all charges. That's his only way to avoid jail, I'm sure.
Oh, and anyone what hasn't gotten the Coles Notes on that conservative 'Project 2025' proposal had damned-sure better get up to speed on it. If it has one upside it's that enacting all or even most of P-2025's madness is likely to prevent a nuclear war between the USA and the RF and/or DPRC. Both Russia and China will see the USA implode upon itself and not have to risk their own populations by destroying America. It'll happen from the inside.
We are on a collision course with or without it.
Biden : "I'm not going to comment on that."
(proceeds to immediately comment on that)
He forgot.
People have “every reason” to believe Biden is facilitating the Israeli onslaught in Gaza for his own political survival.
”The road to hell is paved with good intentions!”
That would require “good intentions”.
No. Bad intentions lead to hell.
Why are there no follow up questions like, “Mr President, are you therefore trying to keep Netanyahu in power by funding him, and why, if he is not heeding your guideposts of discontent?”
That'd be a good question. I think I have a better one. "If you say you don't want to comment on it, then why did you comment on it?
Trick questions: Mr President, who is the president? What is today’s date? Where do you reside?
Mitterrand. Mrs. Biden. No need, my siding is good.
lol.
"guideposts of discontent" … I love it! ++++
Like all polscum critters Biden has a nose for necrotic nazi flesh.
