National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan denied that the US provided direct military assistance during Israel’s operation that rescued four hostages from the Nuseirat refugee camp Saturday.

Sullivan acknowledged that the US did provide the Israel Defense Forces with general intelligence as it has done throughout the Israel-Hamas war, but was adamant that the US was not involved in the operation.

“One thing I can say is that there were no US forces, no US boots on the ground involved in this operation. We did not participate militarily in this operation,” Sullivan told CNN’s “State of the Union” in a pretaped interview for Sunday.

“Hey, something good happened!”
“Well, we in the Biden administration want you to know that we had nothing to do with it!”

No interest in US hostages by Sullivan.

if they were Ukranian, all efforts would be made,
but they were only US hostages, of less interest
than an ice cream cone.

The Biden, I mean Obama regime is SO SO terrified of saying anything Pro Israel, notice that, first of all, the US had nothing to do with it anyway it was Shin Bet and the rest of the IDF heroes who pulled this off..so for once the Biden regime isnt taking credit for it because the IDF and Shin Bet are the true heroes here, keep it up and rescue them all

A better question is why we did not help? Some of those hostages are American Citizens.

Yes Jake you would not want to ruin your military record by being part of a success.

I was worried that the Biden Admin might have actually done something good for a change

He is probably telling the truth. Confirmation - the mission was a success. If our woke military under Biden was involved, it probably would have been screwed up.

“Jake Sullivan denies claims that US gave Israel military help to rescue hostages from Gaza”

If Bibi wanted to troll Biden and make life even more difficult for him, he would THANK BIDEN for giving critical information, regardless of whether true or not.

Did the US did provide HAMAS with general intelligence as it has done throughout the Israel-Hamas war?

Sullivan is probably correct. The US administration did not help Israel to rescue the hostages. It goes counter to the policies of the Biden/Obama cabal. However Hamas claims US and other foreign military forces assisted. And western Hamas propagandists go along with that. See for instance Francesca Albanese:

"It should not have come at the expense of at least 200 Palestinians, including children, killed and over 400 injured by Israel and allegedly foreign soldiers, while perfidiously hiding in an aid truck."

La Stronza Antisemitca was wrong again; no foreign soldiers (unless Freeper Uncle Miltie took part), no aid truck (truck loaded with furniture, soldiers acting as refugees from Rafah), and most likely the Hamas Health Ministry is double counting the fatalities as usual.

I believe that the biden admin probably warned hamas to move the hostages
