Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told President Biden that a ground operation in the Gaza Strip is necessary after Hamas launched deadly strikes on his country.
The remark, made in a phone call between the two leaders, came as Biden raised concerns about Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip if a ground operation should commence, three Israeli and U.S. sources briefed on the call told Axios.
"We have to go in. We can't negotiate now," Netanyahu told the president, according to the outlet.
Netanyahu told Biden that Israel has no choice but to respond with force since a country cannot display weakness in the volatile Middle East, Axios also reported, citing the sources.

Remember the 2 wars we won in the 20th century? Both were TOTAL wars. Destroy the enemies’ country - population centers, and their ability to produce ANYTHING. Air, land, sea - all forces sent to annihilate without restraint.
Now think of all the wars we’ve lost since then. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. Fought with kid gloves, because the politicrats, the media, and the public dictated policy. Blood and treasure wasted.
You never want to fight a war, but when you do, it must be brutal, merciless, incredibly violent, and the enemy must suffer total defeat and unfortunately, massive loss of mostly innocent civilian lives.
I fear nobody in the Western world has the stomach for such things.
Concur. Maybe I am wrong, but I think Israel turned off the electricity; which in turn would turnoff the desalination plants. Thus, they will be out of water and will soon be begging for water.
58000+ dead Americans from Nam beg to differ
Their ghosts scream for Justice
Go in, burn out that nest of vipers, bull doze it into the sea and let Gaza be a new vacation beach on the Mediterranean sea for those wishing to spend some time in the sun!
Biden was having a BBQ while that meeting was going on.
He probably had his meal in front of him while on that video call...
The Fungus Anti-Defamation League is holding for you on line 3.
Something about how you insulted indigenous fungi in the United States.
are you warning? or are you hoping?
However I insult everyone equally.
Simmer down Adolph, that's not the American way.
“FJB is nearing the end of his presidenting tenure.”
Amen to THAT, Sister! :)
I’ve got my money on FJB announcing his sunset on the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday. :::::snicker:::::
Excellent Graphic, Thanks!
Many of those 58k souls would still be alive today if we had let the military fight the war rather than the armchair quarterbacks in the Pentagon and the media at that time.
My relatives who survived the Vietnam war feel exactly the same way. The others have yet to comment.
He doesn’t need Biden’s permission. Scorched earth is the way to go.
Bullshit
Netanyahu best wartime leader they have
Lots of Americans have dual citizenship there
Kibbutz kids at that festival
Freepers always have the answers
I confess I do not
Scorched earth and glass ain’t gonna happen
Plus 100s I think soldiers women children and kids are being held hostage
Do u just sacrifice them?
Id hope Israel has rescue contingency to at least save some
They certainly need to be very punitive
But they don’t need to squander the goodwill they have acquired hourly since this started that they normally don’t get
Like the EU suspending aid to the PA
(Which btw we have not done yet)
These peace accords with moderate Arab states in two weeks need to get done
If not that’s a victory for Hamas
Can Israel wipe out Hamas and limit collateral?
I don’t know nor does anyone else here
Did Biden tell Netanyahu he grew up in Gaza?
