This week, President Biden arrived in Israel following a tragic explosion at a Gaza hospital that was claimed by the terrorist organization Hamas as Israel’s fault but which Israel claimed was the result of a misdirected missile fired by terrorists.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, greeted Biden directly on the ground and gave him a hug. Biden then clasped both his hands around Netanyahu in return.
The two were then taken to a hotel in Tel Aviv with a lot of protection to start crisis talks.
Breitbart News reported that Biden was supposed to go to Jordan as well, but his talks with Arab leaders had to be canceled as he was leaving Washington because of the hospital disaster.
He will miss out on a chance to talk to regional leaders in person, which he sees as important for managing events that are getting worse in the area.
Now, Biden’s sole destination is Tel Aviv, where, according to the AP, he is anticipated to press for the entry of vital humanitarian supplies into Gaza during discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
After 1,400 Israelis were killed and hundreds were held captive by Hamas on October 7, Israel has been getting ready for a possible ground invasion of Gaza.
While on Air Force One, reporters were informed by John Kirby, a White House national security spokesperson, that Biden would be asking some difficult questions and “wants to get a perspective from the Israelis regarding what’s happening on the ground.”
According to the AP, Kirby also said, “He is going to ask them as friends.”
The relatives of those slain and captives captured during Hamas’s assault into Israel, as well as Israeli first responders, were among the people the president intended to visit.
Biden should stay.
He’s not welcome here.
Does Bidumb even know where he was and who he met? Was he able to walk up the stairs into AF1 without “stumbling” again”?
Not wishing him bad luck, but I am wishing the luck of another nation’s military would somehow hit him while he is over there. Maybe it would stop a lot of witch hunts against the Republicans. I know this is not a nice thing to say about a president. Until he starts turning things around to help the Americans I think of him as our bigest enemy, and I am not alone in my thoughts about him.
Com on man, bidens not making any decisions about anything in our government. He can’t even find his way off stage. How the hell is he gonna make important decisions about anything. Time to stop the lies and blame them running the country in bidens name. Joe’s not the one, but he’s the fall guy after the sh#t hits the fan. And it’s time to move out from in front of the fan. It coming fast.
