U.S. President Joe Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken are about to cave to Hamas. They now say that the U.S. expects Israel to allow “humanitarian” aid to cross into Gaza. To facilitate the aid, hundreds of trucks are lined up on the Gaza border with Egypt waiting to cross.
Deborah Glick, columnist for the Jerusalem Post and a leading expert on the region, said that “These trucks, if permitted to enter, will not be inspected in any significant way.
“There is no reason to believe they are carrying baby formula and foodstuffs that will be delivered to the needy. There is every reason to believe they are carrying war materiel and jihadist fighters who have arrived to augment Hamas.”
So we get two indications from Biden that he is backing off his support for Israel
1. He now is pressing Israel to let in “humanitarian” to sustain Hamas in Gaza; and
2. He refuses to cancel the $6 billion in ransom to Hamas that he released days before the attack.
And, of course, there is no discussion of the one step that could end Hamas’ brutal occupation of Gaza: The reimposition of Trump’s sanctions on Iranian oil sales.
Indeed, Biden has advised Israel that occupation of Gaza, even after it is supposedly cleansed of Hamas terrorists, would be a “big mistake.”
So while Biden’s election year posturing is designed to perpetuate the illusion that he is a strong Israeli ally, his statements and behind-the-scenes pressure both belie that posture.
