On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said he worries that “Prime Minister Netanyahu is watching the American election as he makes decisions about his military campaigns in the north and in Gaza.” And “it is certainly a possibility that the Israeli government is not going to sign any diplomatic agreement prior to the American election as a means, potentially, to try to influence the result.”
Murphy said, “Prime Minister Netanyahu is pursuing multiple objectives all at once, I don’t doubt that he cares about the security of Israel, but he seems to be guided, on many days, by his own political survival. We obviously thought we had the ability to obtain a ceasefire with Hamas. Hamas stood in the way of that agreement, but Prime Minister Netanyahu also seemed to believe that it would hurt his political interests to enter into that ceasefire and prisoner exchange. What has to happen now is, first, a response by Israel and the United States. But second, we have to get on a path towards de-escalation. I don’t think that these attacks on Israel can go without a response, but there already was a diplomatic process in place with Hezbollah. We have the opportunity, after these limited ground incursions that Israel is making, to get us on a path to peace, and perhaps by achieving a ceasefire in the north with Hezbollah that might be able to stimulate further talks to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.”

Translation -— you’re making us democrats look bad on purpose!
Biden is a non- entity, Harris cannot openly support or attack Israel during election campaign for fear of alienating a divergent base. During this US power vacuum it only makes sense for Israel to take control of this war.
I corrected my post 30 second before yours, ha!
Great minds think alike
If bibi was sucking up to the USA he would have already taken an L and committed to a cease fire that was detrimental to the state of Israel and helped Harris have the propaganda win for the election. “See little bibi listens to us” she would be cackling about if he did so.
Bibi is going for the win smacking down his enemies without giving any effs about what the US administration is wanting as they have been trying to appease their progressive, antisemitic base, who they are afraid of. I think Israel is tired of this crap hand they have and they don’t need the jokers in Washington dictate to them.
Bibi is trying to save the world from 6th century organized crime and totalitarianism.
Murph is such a fool.
I wonder how quickly he will issue congratulations this time.
Lying liberal liar, unfit for office.
Yeah well, Obama spent over a decade trying to rig Israeli elections using American intelligence agencies, State Department, and the United Nations.
Says a democrat whose party used Zelensky to campaign against Donald Trump last week in Pennsylvania.
Maizie Hirono gets that spot ..
I worry Biden is using illegitimate special counsel Jack Smith to influence the election.
What about Zelenskyyyy trying to influence the US election (along with hauling a boatload of money home with him)?
I guess that’s not a problem for people like Murphy.
