Joe Biden’s advisers believe the United States president does not want to bow out of the November election before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trip to Washington this week, as Biden is unwilling to give Netanyahu “the satisfaction” given the two leaders’ tensions over the war in Gaza, The New York Times reported on Friday.
The report, citing several unnamed people close to Biden, came after the Axios news site on Friday cited top Democrats as saying Biden had resigned himself to the pressure on him to quit, and could bow out as soon as this weekend.
But advisers say that Netanyahu’s impending visit could draw out the process of Biden pulling out of the race, with the president unwilling to give Netanyahu the satisfaction, given their strained relations lately over the Gaza war.
US-Israel tensions have simmered in recent months over the civilian toll in Gaza and the shortage of humanitarian aid there; the lack of a tangible plan by Netanyahu for Gaza’s post-war governance; Biden’s withholding arms from Israel over its offensive in Rafah; and Netanyahu’s perceived derailing of talks, mediated in part by the US, to secure a ceasefire and release of hostages held in Gaza. At least one member of Netanyahu’s government has also explicitly endorsed Biden’s rival, former US president Donald Trump, in the upcoming election.

Why am I thinking of the final scene with Hector Salamanca and Gus Fring in Breaking Bad? Ding, ding, ding!
Maybe, but at least you didn’t wish death upon him. So some anger is okay and face it he and Jill, his keeper, will be totally responsible for further humiliation upon himself.
the longer biden waits to abdicate, the greater the subsequent chaos, so i say, joe, hang in there bud!
I would not want to be in any contact with Joe’s COVID.
It might be time for Traitor Joe to dust off the blackmail material he has on the dem “leaders”.
Oh, I am sure dr jill is threatening just that.
Hopefully BiBi delays a bit more, to further see confusion and discord among the Demonrats.
Yes you did. Harris is the next person in the line of succession. If something happened to her, the Speaker of the House is next in line. The First Lady isn't even on the list.
That isn't to say some kind of deal couldn't be worked out but it would be highly irregular for a non-elected person to assume the Oval Office even though she did it a long time ago. I doubt Harris would allow it. It would take away her one chance to be President. Plus the word is Jilly the diaper changer in chief and VP Harris hate each other.
Win one for The Grifter!!
Nope, some states allow widows the privilege of doing so but not presidents(at least not openly, see Edith Wilson)
I DEFINITELY DON’T WANT HIM DEAD.....I WANT HIM SO HUMILIATED THAT WISHES HE WAS DEAD! Dr. JILL ALSO.
You have just described a petulant six-year old!
Both you and I left out the “Evil” part.
Sloe Joe and petulant six-year-olds are evil!
PoopyPants Joe has always been a mean, petty, bragging bully with a desperate need to make himself feel bigger than he is. A leopard doesn’t change its spots. He remains a pathetic excuse for a human being.
Plus, he’s a kiddy-sniffing pedophile. Does that about cover it?
It’s fun to watch all the crooked, idiot dems fighting among themselves and running around in circles.
Hey, Jewish people who always vote Dem, how do ya’ like Joe now?
Actually, a hefty percentage of American Jewish voters are not particularly concerned about Israel (even before Oct) and many are anti-Netanyahu who is seen as “warlike” and a Trump friend.
I have noticed that Trump is the only president from either major party who got along with Netanyahu.
remember, the L and the first N remain silent...
