Israel-Gaza conflict: De-escalate tensions with Hamas today, Biden tells Netanyahu
SKY News ^ | May 19, 2021

US President Joe Biden has told Israel's prime minister he expects to see a significant de-escalation in its conflict with Hamas today.

In what will be seen as Biden's toughest public pressure on the US ally so far, the White House said the president asked Mr Netanyahu in a telephone call to move toward "the path to a cease-fire".

However, there remains little sign of a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza after more than a week of cross-border attacks.

After Israeli's N12 TV news channel said fighting could end on Thursday morning, a member of Hamas's political bureau, Ezzat El-Reshiq, said there had been "no agreement reached over specific timings for a ceasefire".

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden called for “significant de-escalation” from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday after 10 days of heavy fighting between Israelis and Palestinians.

It was Biden’s toughest public pressure so far on the U.S. ally, with the president asking Netanyahu in a telephone call to move toward “the path to a cease-fire,” according to a White House statement on their conversation.

Pressure has been mounting Biden, too, to do more.

move toward “the path to a cease-fire”.
= = =

That will be accomplished when Hamas has no more weapons; we are working on it.

Ol’ “Duh” is just passing along the hate message he got from his handlers, a la Trashida Tlaib, Ol’ Baldy Pressley, Ill-hand Omar and Dumber-Than-Dog-Poop Silly Sandy. He is not capable of processing that the Palescumians started this whole conflict. So SlowJoe&Ho can go straight to Hell, the sooner the better.

Tell the terrorist to stop firing rockets from civilian positions and guess what... It’s over. They keep on slinging arrows and as long as they do, Israel has every right under all the international laws throughout eternity to fire back.

When attacked, those attacked have every right to attack back.

i don’t think Bibi’s going to dance to this tune this time around - this model hasn’t worked now how many times? it has led to more bloodshed and misery, especially for the P’s. i just hope he has an amazing supply of armaments bec Biden may withhold supply - like Obama did in 2014.

“Imagine telling an ally to stop defending themselves.”

What can you expect from a demented old fool, I guess his handlers gave him a card to read from when he talked to Bebe. I hope that Netanyahu told Biden to go stick it. I am so tired of the U.S.:, the United Nothing; and everyone else who always tells Israel what to do. It was good old G.W. Bush who got Ariel Sharon to give up Gaza in the stupid “2 state solution crap back in 2005.” Bebe, do what you need to do to take care of Israel, and damn the rest.

How much is Hamas paying Hunter and "The Big Guy" to threaten Israel?

Why is it that the Leftist pricks ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS make sure to deny the Jews a victory? Hamas or Fatah or Hezbollah or whomever can attack Israel whenever they want and for however long they want, and Israel has to restrain itself. When, finally, Israel runs out of patience and hits back...”Oh, no, we can’t have violent conflict - Israel, you have to stop this right now.”

Yeah, screw that - with a running chain saw. Screw all of the Leftists, starting with that senile old bastard in the WH, down to his whore VP, his Communist cabinet members, the “Squad” and associated other Anti-Semites in Congress and all of their fellow travelers in the State Dept.

We had peace breaking out all over the Mideast under Trump, because he pursued an unabashedly pro-American policy throughout the region, a major part of which was to strengthen our allies (obviously including Israel) and weakening our enemies. The senile old fool (or, more likely, his puppet-masters) has reversed every single one of Trump’s policies, and we are witnessing just the beginning of the disaster that this is going to create.

FUJB!
