Color me surprised:
Biden Phones Netanyahu After Israel Flattens AP Offices In Gaza - Doesn’t Condemn Attack
According to the White House readout of Biden’s Saturday call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the US president “reaffirmed his strong support for Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza,” while condemning the “indiscriminate attacks” coming from the Gaza Strip.
He merely “raised concerns” about the “safety and security of journalists” - and glaringly absent was any specific mention in the call readout of the intentional targeting of the media building which was hit by a reported six airstrikes earlier in the day, causing it to be flattened
Biden also phoned Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian officials confirmed, which marks a first during his administration. Axios details the call as follows:
“President Biden updated President Abbas on U.S. diplomatic engagement on the ongoing conflict and stressed the need for Hamas to cease firing rockets into Israel,” a White House readout of the called said.
The Palestinian Authority on Friday criticized the U.S. position on the Gaza crisis and called the Biden administration to intervene.
And further, Abbas’s spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, was quoted in a statement: “The silence by the Biden administration about what Israel is doing and the claim it is self defense led to massacres in Gaza and the West Bank. We ask the U.S. to take action because it is the only party in the world who can stop Israeli aggression.”
It looks the Biden administration ( the Dem politburo anyway) support for Hamas must not be polling very well.
Just got home and turned on the livestream from Reuters showing the Gaza skyline, just in time to see rockets being fired into the sky.
Since I don’t where the camera is located, I’m assuming based on the description that it’s the ‘Gaza skyline’ that the rockets were being shot towards Israel.
Apparently the Palestinian President doesn’t realize that all Biden will do at the MOST is just say ‘C’mon man’ to Netanyahu.
