In some of his strongest public comments to date acknowledging criticism of Israel's retaliatory campaign in Gaza, President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that the country was starting to lose support around the world due to what he said was "the indiscriminate bombing that takes place."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a "tough decision to make," Biden said during a fundraising event, while noting that Netanyahu understands that "he's got to make some moves to strengthen [the Palestinian Authority] -- strengthen it, change it, move it."
"You cannot say there's no Palestinian state at all in the future. And that's going to be the hard part," he added, according to a transcript of his remarks at a closed-door reception in Washington.

Your father served. Bye.
So I guess it’s the Defense Minister Gallant that is pushing for it not so much Netanyahu. That’s good if they can avoid it but we’ll see what happens. I saw a speech by Netanyahu where he told the residents in the northern territory that he would push Hezbollah back but perhaps he changed his tune after Blinken refused to greenlight it.
Well Iran said that they and Hezbollah were not going to join the war, and Hamas should stop asking for them to do so.
Could be a ploy, but I doubt it. It’s not what their extremist supporters want to hear.
Yes I remember Iran saying that in the beginning and they have some control over Hezbollah. Basically the Saudis bribed Iran and offered them a very substantial investment (over $500 million) in their country on the condition they remain out of it. (The Saudis and Iran have patch things up to some extent after China helped them work things out.) Iran also fears their oil infrastructure could be taken out. I’m more worried about Hezbollah ignoring Iran and entering anyway. Hezbollah has already taken out Israeli surveillance systems and listening posts on Israel’s northern border, and they took out an Israeli army barracks with a burkan missile.
You got it right!

Biden reminds me of why they gas 19 year old cats and dogs.
