US officials said advising Israel to delay Gaza ground op to allow hostage talks

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.

Biden could NEVER have established such a policy WITHOUT Israel signing off on it first.

Biden does nothing to endanger his elect-ability as an American candidate by his complete and total obeisance to a foreign country.

As a trained subversive, Biden reflexively defines his candidacy by whatever he says (and doe$) about a foreign country.

Jarrett and Obama are worried sick that this time the Isralies mean to do the Pali’s harm.
They must protect their homies, and told Magoo to tell the IDF to stand-by or the money would stop.

[pfflier]

The more they delay, the more Hamas digs in and the more likely we're just extending the never ending conflict.

Exactly. The IDF surprised the crap out of hummus by a violent response they didn't expect. They had them on the run, were picking off high value targets and generally kicking the crap out of them.

Then they paused...militarily WHY???

CORRECT

IT IS A MASSIVE STALL TO RE-ARM & RE-DEPLOY

[Boogieman]

Yes, if there is any negotiation, and if Hamas gets anything for the hostages, then they will just try to take twice as many the next time.

The fight with Iran via Hamas was inevitable. Allowing the Hamas assault was necessary in order to have reason for destroying Gaza.

Based on what I've seen from numerous posters on this website, even *suggesting* this as a possibility is somehow anti-Semitic or anti-Israeli (as though the government of the state of Israel were somehow incapable of performing the same brutal calculus as any other country).

Although sheer incompetence seems more likely at this point in time, I don't think your idea is out of the realm of possibility.

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.

Partner, Obama is doing all the talking for Biden. Valerie Jarrett is helping her friends in Iran.

The MSM is currently on death watch because we do not hear a peep out of those scoundrels.

If I were Biby I would not even listen to Biden and his Administration.

[DoughtyOne]

Joe lives in the fog central Grey House zone.

The man doesn’t know where he is half the time. The rest of
the time he does his best not to slobber.

Bibi could be in a coma and still make more sense than Biden.

[logi_cal869]

Yes, I do.

[popdonnelly]

The Biden Administration screwing things up again. I can’t stand those people.

[popdonnelly]

I think it’s more like Biden has a losing strategy.

[popdonnelly]

Democrats reward our enemies and punish our friends.

Oops...

This was supposed to be a quote from Netanyahu about HAMAS.

Sorry.

One doesn’t need manpower if they have FIREpower!

The Gazans will have to dox the Hamas folks, else it’ll happen again in a few years.

[Elsie]

yes

I don’t think Reagan paid off the Iranians to get back our folks after 444 days in captivity.

Box cutters and pilot training was not available to them.
