“If Israel agrees to Hamas demands, which include the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza and increasing humanitarian aid, that would pave the way for a (truce) agreement within the next 24 to 48 hours,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue, as negotiations were set to resume in Cairo.

    I don’t care what Biden says. You don’t care what he says. Nobody cares what Biden says.

    Biden’s words mean nothing. Only his actions matter.

    So far Biden has done nothing but grovel for Netanyahu and try to give him as many bombs as possible. Biden has bypassed congress because israel needed those tank shells to commit Genocide with. Just a few days ago Biden once against used his UN veto’s for israel.

    Biden has all the power in the world to shut israel down. Netanyahu is powerless without Biden enabling his Genocide. Netanyahu is but a convenient scapegoat everyone points to blame.

          lol did you think congress was against it? Israel is the largest recipient of military aid since WW2. We’ve consistently given them aid, regardless of the president. You’re painting it as a move that went against congress’ wishes when it was to avoid the typical congressional delays.

          Your president doesn’t matter. It’s the country you live in. The US has never had a stance that’s opposed providing weapons and funding to Israel.

          The country is to blame. Not this particular president. The president changes, but there is a massive apparatus that supports Israel. I don’t even think a pro Palestinian president could realistically stop it. It’s way, way bigger than just the president. Even if you had a pro Palestinian president, congress would need to change entirely as well. You guys can’t help but look at just what’s in front of your faces. You’re missing the forest for the trees.

          Good call out. This shouldn’t be a thing that is possible since Congress supposedly controls our budget and spending.

        Because Biden is in charge.

        Biden vetoes the ceasefires.

        Biden bypasses congress to help israel commit Genocide.

        Biden is the one who is responsible.

        If it was Trump in charge it would be Trump Trump Trump. Tell me is Trump president right now?
