Hamas no longer poses major threat to Israel, Biden says

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.

Like cancer, (or kudzu), if you don’t destroy it ALL, it’ll come back.

When Hamas starts attacking Biden's Deep State, then he will get to decide just when they no longer post a major threat.

So happy I have a functioning brain and therefore not leftarded.

Hamas’ major threat is toward US and not only toward Israel. Israel is only the first domino to fall while the last one is the much desired USA.
It is all about the conquest of the world by Islam and nothing else.
Don’t make it more complicated than it is.

The Biden Admin is a friend of hamas

[ZOOKER]

The IDF is still finding caches of weapons and uniforms in hospitals, tunnels, etc. They found some dead hostages, but not all of them. IOW, there are still hiding places they haven't found yet.
Hamas may have lost some men, but most have escaped to Egypt or are hiding among the Gazan population.
Hamas still controls Rafah, or at least the majority. How else can they still lob mortar rounds at port facilities and hijack aid trucks?
Biden and Hamas want you to think they're no longer a threat, but with a ceasefire and the IDF out of Gaza, they can be back to raping and killing in no time at all.
When they can rape and kill, they do, up to the point they're losing, then they hide and wait until they can rape and kill some more. Biden is an idiot if he doesn't know this...
