Biden implied this, questioning the administration&#8217;s stance and potential impact on the war&#8217;s outcome. Netanyahu&#8217;s actions during the conflict and Biden&#8217;s responses are under scrutiny for their implications on the crisis. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-newsom-lifts-calif-lockdown-orders-amid-mounting-backlash\/\" title=\"Gov. Newsom lifts Calif. lockdown orders amid mounting backlash\">recent interview<\/a> with\u200d Time magazine, Joe Biden hinted that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu \u2063might be prolonging the conflict\u200b with Hamas\u2062 for political reasons. Biden&#8217;s insinuation raises questions about the administration&#8217;s position and its effects on the war&#8217;s resolution. Netanyahu&#8217;s\u2062 decisions and Biden&#8217;s remarks are being closely\u200b examined for their significance in the ongoing crisis.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>In a new Time magazine interview, Joe Biden is <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6984968\/joe-biden-transcript-2024-interview\/\">asked<\/a> whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prolonging the war against Hamas for political reasons. \u201cThere is every reason for people to draw that conclusion,\u201d the president contends.<\/p>\n<p>Boy, I would love to hear the audio of this interview, because even the \u201clightly edited\u201d transcript has the president struggling to cobble together coherent thoughts. Here is the full answer from Biden:<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-718392996\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0b2cf17a3e9f77ec5df10dfc565e0816 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0b2cf17a3e9f77ec5df10dfc565e0816\"><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I\u2019m not going to comment on that. There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion. And I would cite tha as \u2014 before the war began, the blowback he was getting from the Israeli military for wanting to change the constitu \u2014 change the court. And so it\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-softens-suggestion-netanyahu-is-prolonging-israel-hamas-war\/\" title=\"Biden moderates comment on Netanyahu's role in Israel-Hamas conflict\">internal domestic debate<\/a> that seems to have no consequence. And whether he would change his position or not, it\u2019s hard to say, but it has not been helpful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Or, in other words, Biden is blaming Netanyahu for prolonging a war that he won\u2019t let Israel finish. Hamas would have been effectively gone if it weren\u2019t for the administration.<\/p>\n<p>Does Biden not recall that last month he \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-netanyahu-gaza-rafah-d85423ad066fe41ac5783db5bd9ecffd\">warned<\/a>\u201d Netanyahu against any major Rafah offensive that would have effectively dismantled remaining Hamas battalions holed up behind human shields? Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/05\/08\/politics\/joe-biden-interview-cnntv\/index.html\">told<\/a> CNN\u2019s Erin Burnett that if Israel invaded the city the U.S. would stop supplying Israel with offensive and precision weapons. Surely this was the first time in history a president tried to stop an ally from destroying a terrorist organization. And not just any terror organization, but one that murdered, sexually tortured, kidnapped \u2014 and likely still holds \u2014 American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Does Biden not recall sending Secretary of State Antony Blinken to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/03\/21\/politics\/blinken-israel-visit\/index.html\">warn<\/a>\u201d Netanyahu not to launch an assault on Rafah? How about National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who also \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/top-us-officials-warn-israel-s-gallant-against-invading-rafah\/7544133.html\">warned<\/a>\u201d Israel against an invasion of Rafah? Does he not recall top Middle East expert, Vice President Kamala Harris, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/harris-us-ruled-consequences-israel-invades-rafah\/story?id=108431225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insisting<\/a> that Israel\u2019s invasion of Rafah was \u201chuge mistake\u201d and warning that there would be \u201cconsequences?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If this is the public pressure, you can imagine what was going on in private. Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/israel-rescues-two-hostages-held-by-hamas-in-gaza-ec5ca99a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> that Israel had no plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-c-national-guard-left-unarmed-at-request-of-d-c-mayor-amid-potential-unrest-after-chauvin-verdict\/\" title=\"D.C. National Guard Left Unarmed At Request Of D.C. Mayor Amid Potential Unrest After Chauvin Verdict\">protect civilians<\/a>. So, Israel came up with one and sent it to Biden. It began allowing supplies to enter Gaza, which were immediately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/hamas-steals-food-from-its-citizens-yet-israel-gets-blamed\/\">stolen<\/a> by Hamas, as everyone paying attention predicted. Then Israel began moving civilians out of the area, attempting to isolate and destroy the terror organization. That still wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-6681b5a04bdf949cab001aed2232dfc1 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-6681b5a04bdf949cab001aed2232dfc1\"><\/div>\n<p>Now, Biden is treating Hamas and Israel as moral equals involved in a legitimate land dispute, concocting \u201cceasefire\u201d deals that would allow the entity that started the war to retrench and survive. The very notion that these eliminationist theocrats are going to abide by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-one-in-six-biden-voters-would-have-changed-their-vote-if-they-had-known-about-scandals-suppressed-by-media\/\" title=\"Poll: One In Six Biden Voters Would Have Changed Their Vote If They Had Known About Scandals Suppressed By Media\">peace deals<\/a> is preposterous. Even as of this writing, the president is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/bidens-deal-gives-hamas-everything-it-wanted\/\">floating<\/a> a deal that would necessitate the IDF pulling out of Gaza while the parties continue to negotiate to try and save the civilians that Hamas tortured and kidnapped.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas keeps rejecting these overtures, by the way, and the president keeps blaming Netanyahu. \u201cEndless conflict in Gaza in pursuit of some idea of total victory is not going to make Israel safer,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/ap\/ap-politics\/ap-biden-takes-a-big-swing-at-hostage-for-truce-deal-puts-onus-on-israeli-hamas-officials-to-step-up\/\">lectured<\/a> State Department spokesman Matthew Miller. This administration is teeming with unserious people.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is, as Obama was, far more interested in getting rid of the Israeli prime minister than he is in eliminating Hamas or weakening Iran. You may recall prominent Jewish politician Chuck Schumer doing Biden\u2019s dirty work by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democrats.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/majority-leader-schumer-calls-on-israeli-government-to-hold-elections\">explicitly calling<\/a> for new elections in a foreign democracy. Like many things Democrats do these days, it was unprecedented. For all the grousing about foreign interference in American democracy, Democrats have little compunction attempting to dictate the leadership of other countries. Well, some countries. Not Iran. Israel.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also quite telling that Biden accidentally claims that Netanyahu is prolonging the war because he was involved in a debate over the \u201cconstitu,\u201d which doesn\u2019t exist in Israel and is <em>the<\/em> central problem with the system. There is no genuine separation of powers and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/03\/27\/israels-judicial-system-is-the-dream-of-the-american-left\/\">the court acts unilaterally and without any enshrined legal guidelines<\/a>. That was the debate. Free nations often have contentious debates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d54250dcaf76baf6659533a14e2ee6ac fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d54250dcaf76baf6659533a14e2ee6ac\"><\/div>\n<p>The problem for Biden is that there is no coalition or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/voters-disagree-with-bidens-rhetoric-about-capitol-attack-george-floyd-protests-poll\/\" title=\"Voters Disagree With Biden's Rhetoric About Capitol Attack, George Floyd Protests: Poll\">major party<\/a> in the Jewish State that can afford to capitulate to Hamas and Iran. There is a unity government. The Israeli war council has the leader of the opposition party on it. As widespread fires <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cpdd8z0zjdzo\">sparked<\/a> by Hezbollah missiles rage in the north and Iran points its missiles from the east, Israelis see this as a moment of survival. If voters in Israel change their minds, there is a process that allows them to bring about a new election at any time.<\/p>\n<p>But what\u2019s most galling about Biden\u2019s comment is that he doesn\u2019t want Netanyahu to finish the war. He wants Israel to end hostilities without achieving its goal so he can mollify the pro-Hamas faction in his party in the lead-up to the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2c17a67cbf5ad29cfadd64ff2718c874 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2c17a67cbf5ad29cfadd64ff2718c874\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a recent Time magazine interview, Joe Biden suggested that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu might be prolonging the conflict with Hamas for political gains.
