President Biden on Thursday urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toward a cease-fire deal that would release the remaining hostages in Gaza while suggesting that U.S. policy on the war will depend on Israel’s ability to better protect civilians and humanitarian workers after a deadly attack that killed a contingent of international aid workers this week.


Biden spoke with Netanyahu days after an Israeli strike killed several humanitarian aid workers with World Central Kitchen, a charity group that was distributing food to Palestinians in Gaza. The president told Netanyahu the incident was “unacceptable.”


“He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,” the White House said in a readout of the call. “He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”

Nothing is going to happen until conditions start being placed on military aid. And we stop circumventing our own laws meant to put checks on such aid.

I'm sick and tired of Biden pretending he has to ask politely.

There is no Israel without the United States. If we drop support Iran would roll them up and smoke them SAME DAY

I hear you but honestly no actual president is going to publicly take that position. They should though.

Biden aint going to do shyt but flap his gums.


He's willing to let the fascist Trump set us back 50 years instead going against the AIPAC lobby.
