Despite Israeli bombardment that has brought Gaza to the brink of a humanitarian meltdown, U.S. President Joe Biden is facing little pressure at home to rein in Israel's military retaliation for an unprecedented attack by Palestinian Hamas militants.
Biden appears to have given Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a free hand, for now, to press his war against Hamas, though a threatened ground offensive - with the likelihood of a higher civilian death toll - could force the president to rethink that approach.
As Biden vows rock-solid support for Israel, he has only faced scattered protest from the left wing of the Democratic Party over his acquiescence to Israel's tough crackdown in the crowded coastal strip.
Leading Democrats have helped him keep a lid on any intra-party dissent, seeking to project a message of unity, despite calls from a few progressives to get Israel to act with restraint to avoid massive civilian casualties as it battles Hamas.
There has also been a growing international outcry, but Biden's allies want to avoid giving Republicans an opening to accuse him of undercutting U.S. ally Israel's military response, which could make the crisis a political liability as he seeks re-election in 2024.
Republicans have shown near-unanimity in backing whatever military action Israel decides to take after suffering the deadliest attack on its soil in decades. More than 1,000 people were killed and dozens more abducted into Gaza, including Americans.

“Biden faces little pressure to rein in Israel - for now“
What a corrupt premise. So Israel is Biden’s charge like Hunter? F’n Reuters.
The IDF needs to round everyone up in Gaza and gather them to Radaf which is just outside Egypt.
More antisemitic bs by demon driven psychos
We’ve seen this movie over and over. Israel is attacked, they respond, when victory is in their grasp the West and others demand they stop short. The result is always the same: more war. Total victory for Israel will yield peace, while total victory for Militant Islam will mean total annihilation for Israel. Militant Islam will never no peace, and because of it neither will anyone else..
They learned to play the game well- they commit unspeakable animalistic atrocities, the go running behind the un skirts, screaming like they are the victims.
The sickest part thouhg is that the un, liberals, and other demon driven godless people choose to ignore the facts and side with them
Biden is a figurehead. So was Obama. Their puppet-master make the decisions.
While I agree Biden is not in charge, and decides nothing, Who’s the puppet master?
No clue
“which is why it is so important that Israel move FAST, kill them all now and debate it later.
If they go slow the slow drip of news will eventually cause them to lose support.”
This was mentioned on ‘The Five.’ Israel has vastly superior tech and numbers to wrench hamas from the land of the living, but it will take time and relentless determination. Both of which Israel has.
Without revealing too much here, does anyone know effective methods the Israeli forces can use on tunnel infested hamas slime?
What a load of dreck. Reuters is a joke.
Hamas has established the rules of engagement. Just agree with them and unleash hell on them.
The civilians have been told to evacuate. Those that have not have become part of the Hamas War Plan and will be sacrificed by the actions of Hamas, not Israel.
Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War.
Eh, it’s Reuters.
Israel would just tell us to FO anyhow.
Some very smart and very dangerous people are operating the puppet strings. They are determined to destroy the USA, and they are succeeding.
When America is weak enough, they will act.
Sh*t for brains Biden thinks Israel is something on a fishing rod.
