Israel has degraded Hamas’ military capabilities significantly since October, and the militant group no longer poses a major threat to Israel, President Joe Biden said Friday.
Biden offered that analysis while outlining a new three-phase cease-fire proposal Israel has offered Hamas, which would lead to the release of all hostages and a permanent end to fighting.
“The people of Israel should know they can make this offer without any further risk to their own security, because they’ve devastated Hamas forces over the past eight months,” Biden said. “At this point, Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another Oct. 7.”
He was referring to the militant group’s surprise attack on Israeli soil in October, which killed some 1,200 people and led to the hostage-taking of 250 people. Israel retaliated with an all-out invasion of Gaza, which has plunged the territory into famine-like conditions for 2.2 million Palestinians.
The Biden administration has faced mounting pressure domestically and internationally to push Israel to stop its operations in Gaza, which have killed more than 35,000 people since October, according to Hamas-led Gazan authorities. Publicly, Israeli officials said they won’t agree to a permanent cease-fire until Hamas’ military is entirely destroyed.
Earlier this week, Israeli national security adviser Tzachi Hanegbi said he expected the war to last at least another seven months — right up to the end of the year.

You mean the SS Waffen?
No he’ll just cave in and compromise or current.
Biden has ALWAYS been a major threat and enemy of the Republic! He and Obama, acting as one person, are guilty of the attempted assassination of Donald J Trump!
To see this warped pedophilic weasel pause after his inane comments today with an evil smile on his face, shows he was thoroughly pleased with what happened in the big rotten apple. He deserves whatever fate awaits him next year!
Valjar running policy
Radical Islamic terrorists never go away.
Iran is still alive and well. Al-Qaeda is still alive and well. Hezbollah will never go away. ISIS is still there. The Talaiban are still there. Hamas is still there, and if allowed to continue to exist, they will rebuild and get stronger and go after Israel again.
Biden’s stupidity existed since his career began, and is still there. Obama is still there, and he’s the best hopes for Hamas and other terrorist groupd. Omar and Tlaib are alive and well, and working hard to keep the terrorist groups alive and well.
Terrorists can’t be dealt with, and Biden’s mind is too far gone, but the democrats are there to aid and abet the terrorists all over the world. Israel had better not make any deals where Hamas continues to exist.
Ditto
Well Briben, if you ever get cancer you can stop treatment at 90% cancer-free.
Biden is back peddling to save his poll numbers.
Agree, just SLOWLY!!!
That aside, Biden has been on the wrong side of just about every position for the past 50 years. Why the hell would anybody expect him to be right about Hamas today.
I hope Israel exterminates every last Hamas Sand Monkey in the middle east. Kill them ALL!!!
Biden is not the one who needs choking. He has ben a stooge for obama for years. He has never done anything except what he is fed by the One World rulers. If he gets off the rails too far he will have a sudden stroke. Someone else will be set in position to finish the plan. It’s global and obama is also a stodge for the One World group. Find a way to blow up Davos next year. Problem solved. I’m betting Mrs. obama will be parked on the stage at the convention
Because the 320M Biden Raft to Nowhere has sunk.
If they still hold Americans and Israelis hostage that is a problem. If they still breath, they are a threat.
If that is the standard, then the US should be able to abolish the TSA.
“The people of Israel should know they can make this [peace] offer [to the Nazis] without any further risk to their own security, because they’ve devastated [Nazi] forces over the past eight months,” Biden said. “At this point, [we douchebag who reinstalled the Taliban to power in Afghanistan and are trying to snuggle up with a regime that wants to wipe Israel and the US from the face of the Earth with nuclear weapons believe the Nazis] no longer capable of carrying out another [Holocaust].” -— Joe Biden, if he had been President in earlier times
How would he know?
Isn’t that what they said about Isis in the Middle East? They making a resurgence last I heard.
January, 1945 - President Roosevelt today stated that, because of their recent severe defeats, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan no longer poses aa major threat to the Allies. As a result, we are ceasing hostilities against the Axis nations and holding our position in preparation to signing a peace treaty with Germany and Japan, at which time we will withdraw our naval, air, and land forces to the Continental United States.
Biden is in no position to comment on the security situation in Israel. He would throw Israel to the wolves, if he felt he could get away with it.
