Netanyahu to Biden, Sullivan: ‘There Is No Way’ Other than Rafah Invasion
Breitbart ^ | 03/19/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 03/19/2024 9:34:47 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded Tuesday to the claim by White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan that it was a “straw man” and “nonsense” to believe invading Rafah is the only way to defeat Hamas.

For weeks, President Joe Biden has spoken out against a potential Israeli attack on Hamas in Rafah, a city in Gaza near the Egyptian border that is the terrorist organization’s last stronghold. Biden has said he is concerned about the welfare of roughly one million Palestinian civilians in the area, many of whom fled to Rafah from elsewhere in Gaza. He also apparently wants to pressure Israel to accept a Palestinian state as the outcome of the war Hamas started October 7.

As Breitbart News reported, Sullivan told reporters on Monday that Biden expressed his opposition to a Rafah invasion in a phone call with Netanyahu (days after Biden backed demands that Israel hold new elections to oust Netanyahu.)

Bibi, Millie, and Orban are just about the only heads of state who are sane these days.

Anyone else get the feeling that “our team” is just winging it? We don’t have clear objectives or policies that appear to be logically connected to clear objectives. It looks like “we” just really wish that all of this wasn’t happening. Leaders cannot have that mindset.

“We don’t have clear objectives or policies that appear to be logically connected to clear objectives.”

Sure they do. It’s winning the next election.

Once you look at things that way it all makes perfect sense.

Biden needs to stop the ceasefire talk and work on freeing the hostages.

Cause really what actual military expertise does PENCIL neck a@@kisser Sullivan have? Answer is NONE, zero, nada. He does have the debacle that was Benghazi under his belt, killing our Ambassador.

“the claim by White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan that it was a “straw man” and “nonsense” to believe invading Rafah is the only way to defeat Hamas.”

Well, with his background as a law clerk and a camp follower of Hillary Clinton and a campaign staffer for Obama, when he discusses military strategy and international relations and Middle East terrorism, you really have to sit up and take notice. /s

Of course they are winging it. Look at Sullivan’s background. He is utterly unqualified to be THE national security advisor.
Just a campaign staffer political hack Hillary and the big eared Kenyan appointed. That’s it.

To Israel, accepting a Palestinian state in Gaza is the functional equivalent of giving a house next door to me to a hit-man that has a contract to kill me. Israel does not have a death wish for themselves, nor should they. Once again, Biden and his regime is corrupt and downright evil. Anybody that sides with Hamas over Israel has a fundamental misunderstanding of right and wrong.

Assuming the next step is a dramatic cutback in U.S. military support, how long can Israel go it completely alone?

Exactly.

Netanyahu is a statesman, Biden and Sullivan are merely incompetent placeholders.
