The White House wants Israel to delay its ground operation in the Gaza Strip to allow more time for negotiations to release the hostages held by terrorists there and for aid to enter the Palestinian enclave, several unnamed US officials told The New York Times.
Officials said that the US is not asking Israel to abort the ground invasion but is advising it to wait, and that Washington still fully supports Israel’s aim to destroy Hamas in the wake of the deadly onslaught.
Nonetheless, four senior Israeli defense officials told the Times the ground invasion has been repeatedly put off and they don’t know the reason why. Two suggested the wait was due to hostage negotiations.

The more they delay, the more Hamas digs in and the more likely we're just extending the never ending conflict.
Not no but hell no!
How long is it going to take Netanyahu to figure out that Biden’s minions, Hamas, and the Qataris are just stringing him along to make it harder for the Israelis to finally enter Gaza and take care of business?
How about one “humanitarian” aid truck allowed in for every 10 hostages released? Then up the ante the longer they delay.
In reality, it just allows Hamas the opportunity to spread the hostages out and set traps for the Israeli soldiers.
Joe...MYOB
So true... when you catch the other guy flat footed (or get into a vulnerable position) that’s NO time to give him a break!!!
I figured this is why Israel hasn’t gone in yet is because our communist government is covering for the terrorists. You can count on this government to always do the wrong and evil thing.
After the intelligence failure, Israeli public will not approve of delay. More time for Iran dirty tricks and Hamas booby traps.
It’s not just that, it also gives the hipster lefties time to cement their narrative that this is not, in fact, a war, but is a “Genocide” being perpetrated against the innocent, and oppressed Palestinians.
Anyone taking bets on just how long it is before there is an emergency session of the UN to rescind Resolution 181, which created Israel in the first place?
Asking? No, demanding! Israel has been ordered to stand down their ground offensive.
When the Biden entourage arrived last week (and Joe was sucking from a sippy-cup,) Valerie Jarret was laying the wood to Biby.
She told him , in no uncertain terms, that our two carrier groups weren't off shore to protect but to constrain Israel.
Biden advises Israel to do what they are already doing
I will argue that the IDF doesn’t really need to send in troops on the ground when they are effectively destroying Hamas from the air, artillery and naval gunfire.
Israel is not playing the old game that Iran and the world expected. Hamas infrastructure in the form of Gaza is being destroyed. The “Refugee Camps” that were in effect Hamas territory within the Gaza territory are gone.
Israel is playing and effectively winning a new game the world hasn’t caught on to yet.
Two weeks ago, all I heard from those corners was that “this is our war, too!”
Now that the incompetent losers running this country aren’t waging “our war” the way these war cheerleaders want it to be carried out, they’re suddenly claiming that the U.S. has no business interfering in Israel’s operations over there. LOL.
Nah, they just don’t want a ground op that causes all the muslim terrorist groups surrounding Israel to attack. Israel doesn’t have the manpower to fend off Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al-nusra etc attacking from Jordan.
Boo hoo hoo
Video
A Palestinian man celebrates on the streets of Gaza as Hamas fires rockets over his head toward Israel.
Soon after, he posts a video of himself crying in a hospital after an Israeli airstrike

You’re probably right. Israel depends on the United States for a lot of things.
Financial aid, military equipment, etc.
And as the old saying goes, He who pays the piper calls the tune.
so is brandon getting his advice from robert malley & his other iranian apparachniks?
