Biden urges Israel ‘to just call for’ 6-8 week ceasefire, slams PM’s handling of Gaza war

US President Joe Biden has urged “the Israelis to just call for” a six-to-eight-week ceasefire, remarks the White House adamantly insisted did not mark a major shift in policy even though he did not mention Hamas or a hostage deal in his appeal to Israel.

“What I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country,” Biden told Univision, a US Spanish-language TV network, in an interview aired Tuesday.

“I’ve spoken with everyone from the Saudis to the Jordanians to the Egyptians. They’re prepared to move in,” Biden said. “They’re prepared to move this food in. And I think there’s no excuse to not provide for the medical and the food needs of those people. It should be done now.”

Asked whether Netanyahu is more concerned about his own political survival than Israel’s national interest, Biden responded, “I think what he’s doing is a mistake… I don’t agree with his approach.”

The Univision interview was taped last Wednesday — two days after the IDF’s deadly strike on a World Central Kitchen convoy and a day before Biden held a call with Netanyahu during which he reportedly threatened to cease support of Israel during the war unless Jerusalem made major changes to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Maybe Biden is disappointed that Hamas only murdered 1200 Jews.

I wonder, would FJB advise Netanyahu to leave behind weapons and ammunition when he calls for a ceasefire?

That did not work in Vietnam. I see LBJ & McNamara from the 60’S play book is still being used today by the Dems.

Biden the experienced warfighter sez...

Bibi was/is a warfighter with IDF experience. Alot of the Israeli government officials in the past and present have all been there/done that. They are comrades in arms. My bro-in-law was over there working with an American radio affiliate for a few months and got to see those guys up close and personal. He said it was like a bunch of veteran groups over here. Buddies.

If Jobama’s life was on the line like Netanyahu’s is, would he still be calling for a ceasefire with those who want to kill him? Hell NO!

Why? All that will do is allow hamas to regroup and refuel. What an IDIOT!
