Joe Biden has been hiding intelligence on the whereabouts of Hamas leaders and their command tunnels, depriving Israel of vital information that could lead to an end to the war. That revelation came in a report on Saturday and was framed as the administration offering that information now if the ongoing operation in Rafah is canceled.
Why has Biden been keeping intel on Palestinian terrorists from Israel while 5 Americans are being held hostage in Gaza and Israel is their only way out?!
Why is Biden constantly playing interference on behalf of Hamas?

The story first broke in The Washington Post, with the paper describing the offer as follows.
The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels, according to four people familiar with the U.S. offers.
There's no other way to read this except that the Biden administration has been protecting Hamas. If intelligence exists that can help "pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders," it should have been given to Israel the moment it was produced. The same goes for any information about the terror tunnels.
Why was that information held back from Israel? Was the White House trying to appease Iran by ensuring Hamas' survival? Or was Biden concerned about the domestic backlash from the far left if he had a hand in eliminating Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar?
To only offer this intelligence after Israel called Biden's bluff on Rafah smacks of political gamesmanship, with the president's political fortunes being put over the lives of the hostages, including the several Americans still being held captive.
Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren had this to say about the situation.
I am shocked and sickened by reports that the U.S. is withholding from Israel vital information on the whereabouts of senior Hamas leaders in Gaza.
Is the administration still our ally? https://t.co/gNUZyflABt— Michael Oren (@DrMichaelOren) May 12, 2024
The scandalous part of the situation aside, there's also an inherent contradiction on display. Biden is telling the Israelis he will give them information on the location of Hamas leaders while at the same time demanding they not attack their geographic location in Rafah.
In other words, this seems like a meaningless promise from the White House. It's a desperate, pathetic attempt to get Israel to call off its final blow against Hamas. At this point, the Israelis don't need the intelligence because they will find the terror tunnels themselves once they take Rafah. They should tell Biden to go pound sand over this betrayal.
Hamas probably has nekked pictures of administration insiders.
IOW They’re in Rafah.
Would not even slow them down nowadays.
.
How much is ENOUGH folks.
PLEASE get out and help locally to get DJT to the White House.
If Joe cares so much about the Gaza civilians then he should have already told the Israelis the precise locations of Hamas leadership, so the Israelis could take them out with precision strikes that would minimize civilian casualties.
Let’s just consider that Biden is a muzzie.
And that everything that he says is a lie.
So this offer is also a big fat lie too!
Why doesn’t BiZiden make Hamass disarm , release the hostages and live in Peace next to Israel forever more?
[Israel might even give them water and electricity that those retards can’t do for themselves.]
He’s not a muzzie, he’s a Judas.
obama is the muzzie.
It's not like we have the Navy Seals in the tunnels. Unless I'm missing somrthing?
You can only betray something to which you owe loyalty.
“ironclad commitment to Israel” the traitor / terrorist supporter says.
the backstab is in full operation
Biden and his marionettists are such backstabbing rodents.
He makes all these speeches about he is all behind Israel etc.
He is such a hypocrite and faker.
For a lot of people who post on this site, Israel is their country. Their infatuation with Israel is something to behold.
I’m well short of EvangeliCon idolatry of Israel and Jews, but if Biden has been withholding intelligence that could have helped Israel target Hamas, find the hostages and end the war sooner, he is an absolute backstabbing bastard, given his public statements of his supposed support for Israel.
What's his FR nick?
The Americans have done great damage to their reputation as not being trustworthy
Never in my life have I concluded that Americans weren’t trustworthy, although it did pop up a few times in the past but I always minimized it , but now I know
They pushed Ukraine to war and now letting them hang
They pushing defeat for Israel , their supposed allies
They pushing for war between Taiwan and China
One piece of advice for Taiwan , you better get a deal done with China
The Chinese will cut all trade route to United States , they will adopt the bricks and will choke of the Americans
Nothing United States can do. Slowly the world is turning on the Americans, even Israel will one day be militarily independent , all for a few votes.
Oh, please, this entire story is rank nonsense. It's pretty obviously something that some numbnuts in the West Wing pulled out of their @ss, in a desperate (if facially ludicrous) effort to forestall Netanyahu from going into Rafah. Why would the U.S. have better intelligence on the comings and goings of Hamas operatives than Mossad, hmm? Or is spying on American and British politicians the sum and substance of Mossad operations generally?
And in the (very remote) possibility that the U.S. does have such intelligence, in light of the context, it must have been obtained by particularly sensitive means. Small wonder than the U.S. would be loath to share it, given the potential to betray its sources.
The U.S. doesn't owe Israel anything.
