Biden In Israel: What He Hopes To Accomplish.

Biden is in Israel today to try and prevent the entire region from going to war. He urged ‘peace’ and pleaded with nations not to be “consumed” by rage.

 

Biden has already succeded in getting Israel to allow humanitarian aid to Gaza, but only from the Egyptian side.

“In light of President Biden’s demand, Israel will not block humanitarian aid deliveries, as long as they consist water, food, and drugs for the civilian population in the southern Gaza Strip … and as long as the aid doesn’t reach Hamas,” the statement said.

 

Addressing Tuesday’s blast at a Gaza hospital that killed hundreds — mostly women and children — Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu it “appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.” Early intelligence reports back that up; it appears it was caused by a splinter Palestinian group.
