Joe Biden indicated this morning that he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t doing enough to free the hostages held by the Muslim terror group Hamas.
Via the AP:
President Joe Biden says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to reach a deal to free hostages and reach a cease-fire in its war with Hamas in Gaza.Biden spoke to reporters Monday, two days after six hostages, including one Israeli-American, were found after being killed by Hamas. Protests rocked Israel over the government’s handling of the negotiations.
Asked if Netanyahu was doing enough, Biden responded, “No.”
Biden was arriving at the White House for a Situation Room meeting with advisers involved in negotiating a hostage deal and cease-fire. He insisted that negotiators remain “very close” to a deal, adding, “Hope springs eternal.”
It’s being reported via a Kan News reporter out of Israel that Netanyahu’s senior officials condemned Biden’s words, calling them ‘dangerous’:
Here’s more from Kan News (translated from Hebrew):
Sources close to Netanyahu responded: “It is strange that the president of the United States is putting pressure on the prime minister who agreed to the American proposal already on May 31 and the American mediation proposal on August 16, and not on Sinwar who continues to vehemently refuse any deal.” According to the sources, “Biden’s words are dangerous when they are said just days after Hamas executed six Israeli hostages , including an American citizen.The election is now just two months away and you can bet Joe and Kamala are going to side with Hamas over Israel because that’s what their people want. It’s despicable.
