The Deep State has its claws all over the West and in Israel. They want the war stopped so Hamas can be saved. Joe Biden does as he is told and also pressures Netanyahu to stop the war, which would give time to Hamas to rearm and kill more Jews. Then throw in how Israel even let Hamas invade in the first place, in total defiance of the reality on the ground, and we have one screwed up Middle East thanks to Joe Biden and crew.
A diplomatic dispute between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Biden administration has erupted amid rising tensions between Netanyahu and his own military. The controversy intensified when the Israel Defense Force’s top spokesman publicly challenged Netanyahu’s assertion that Hamas can be completely eradicated. Nick Schifrin discussed the implications of this criticism and its impact on the strained relations between Netanyahu and Biden with Laura Blumenfeld.
Today, Netanyahu reiterated accusations, which the Biden administration deems false and unfair, that the U.S. has withheld necessary weapons for Israel’s operations in Gaza. This diplomatic rift coincides with increasing friction between Netanyahu and Israel’s military leaders. For years, Israeli military officials have often disagreed with Netanyahu, though such criticism typically remained anonymous or emerged post-retirement. However, this week, the IDF’s top spokesman openly voiced concerns about Netanyahu’s claims of a decisive victory over Hamas.

Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the IDF spokesperson, emphasized that the political leadership must decide, and the military will execute those decisions. He criticized the notion of completely destroying Hamas as misleading, stressing that without a viable alternative for Gaza, Hamas would eventually resurface.
This public military criticism of Netanyahu is significant, as it highlights internal disagreements about the strategic approach to the Gaza conflict. Laura Blumenfeld, a senior fellow at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, explained that the IDF’s stance reflects concerns over moral and strategic implications for Israel’s long-term security. The military urges Netanyahu to take a definitive position, especially regarding the deployment of Ultra-Orthodox fighters, as Israeli forces are currently stretched thin.

Netanyahu faces not only public military dissent but also internal coalition tensions. He recently called for unity among his coalition partners to support the war effort and prioritize the ceasefire deal, which is crucial for the Israeli public. Blumenfeld noted that maintaining coalition support is essential for Netanyahu to navigate the ceasefire negotiations effectively.
The strain in U.S.-Israeli relations was further highlighted by Netanyahu’s recent video statement accusing the U.S. of withholding weapons, a claim swiftly refuted by U.S. officials. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby labeled Netanyahu’s statement as inaccurate and disappointing. U.S. officials assert that only one weapons transfer, involving 3,500 unguided bombs, was paused in May.
Speculations abound regarding Netanyahu’s motivations for his public stance, ranging from political maneuvers anticipating a Trump presidency to attempts to sway U.S. policy. Blumenfeld suggested that Netanyahu’s actions might be influenced by internal political dynamics and upcoming electoral considerations.

With these diplomatic and internal disputes, there is also concern about the potential for unintended conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. U.S. officials worry about an escalation that neither side desires, but the risk remains high. Israeli military leaders view the Gaza conflict as a prelude to a more significant confrontation with Hezbollah, involving precision-guided missiles and direct threats to Israeli population centers.
With Joe Biden in the White House, the world is on fire, crime is soaring in all U.S. cities and now allies like Israel face war on multiple fronts as our glorious President of the United States continues to finally support both the terrorists of Hamas, and the Israelis. Perfect Democrat nonsense to create war and kill people on the global stage.
Key Points:
i. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is involved in a diplomatic dispute with the Biden administration, accusing the U.S. of withholding weapons needed for the Gaza conflict.
ii. Tensions are also rising between Netanyahu and Israeli military leaders, with the IDF’s top spokesman publicly criticizing Netanyahu’s claim that Hamas can be completely destroyed.
iii. The IDF spokesperson emphasized that destroying Hamas without an alternative for Gaza is misleading, as Hamas would eventually return.

v. There is also concern about a potential unintended conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with Israeli military leaders viewing the Gaza conflict as a precursor to a more significant confrontation in the north.
