Biden Says ‘There’s Every Reason’ for People to Draw Conclusion Netanyahu Prolonging Gaza War (Connecting the Dots: Joe Biden, Time magazine, Palestine (Hamas), Soros Family & Soros Funding, All Networking)

President
Joe Biden recently entertained the theory that
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prolonging the current conflict in
the Gaza Strip to bolster his personal political fortunes.
President
Biden spoke with Time magazine in a May 28 White House interview, which
was published on Tuesday. In it, the president discussed a range of foreign
policy issues, including the fighting in the Gaza Strip and negotiations for a
ceasefire.
Time
magazine journalists initially asked the president which parties he believes
are to blame for the lack of ceasefire nearly eight months on into the current
war. President Biden responded at first that he believed Hamas—a U.S. and
Israeli-designated Palestinian terrorist group—is responsible for the ongoing
fighting and said the conflict could end “tomorrow” if Hamas would accept the
ceasefire terms the Israeli side has offered.
Moments
later, the Time magazine interviewers asked President Biden what he thought of
the theory that Mr. Netanyahu also sees the ongoing war as an avenue for his
political survival and is prolonging the fighting for his own electoral
benefit.
“I’m
not going to comment on that,” President Biden began before immediately adding,
“There’s every reason for people to draw that conclusion.”
President
Biden then suggested the political atmosphere in Israel prior to the Oct. 7
Hamas attacks, and the ensuing Gaza conflict bolstered the theory that Mr.
Netanyahu benefits from the ongoing war. Thousands of Israeli citizens had
taken to the streets in September 2023 in protest of a judicial overhaul sought
by the Netanyahu government.
“I
would cite the as—before the war began, the blowback he was getting from the
Israeli military for wanting to change the constitu—change the court,”
President Biden told Time. “And so it’s an internal domestic debate that seems
to have no consequence. And whether he would change his position or not, it’s
hard to say, but it has not been helpful.”
Senate
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer similarly referenced disagreement over the
judicial overhaul effort in Israel in a March Senate floor speech in which he
referred to Mr. Netanyahu as an “obstacle to peace.” Mr. Schumer used the March
floor speech to endorse
calls for new elections in Israel, to be held as soon as the current
Gaza conflict dies down.
Biden,
Netanyahu Offer Differing Ceasefire Rhetoric
State
Department spokesman Matthew Miller downplayed President Biden’s Time magazine
interview remarks during a Tuesday department press briefing. Mr. Miller
insisted President Biden was not necessarily endorsing the theory that Mr.
Netanyahu was prolonging the war but merely stated, “some people could conclude
that.”
Still,
reporters at the department press briefing presented President Biden’s Time
magazine comments alongside his efforts in the days since that interview to
push along a ceasefire agreement. Members of Netanyahu’s governing coalition
have already expressed reservations about the ceasefire terms as President
Biden described them.
President
Biden announced on Friday, May 31, that the Israeli government had put forward
terms for a three-phase ceasefire plan. President Biden said Israeli forces
have “devastated Hamas” over the past eight months of fighting and rendered
them incapable of carrying out another attack as they did on Oct. 7. But the
President did not clearly say on Friday that the peace plan would see Hamas’
total defeat, going only so far as to say the ensuing peace framework would
“not allow Hamas to re-arm.”
President
Biden’s May 31 remarks about the ceasefire deal appear to fall short of wartime
goals articulated by Mr. Netanyahu and his allies to outright eliminate Hamas.
On
Monday, Mr. Netanyahu told the Israeli Knesset that any claims he had agreed to
any ceasefire deal “without our conditions being met” are incorrect.
sraeli
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a member of Mr. Netanyahu’s
governing coalition, said
Mr. Netanyahu had assured him that President Biden had simply misconstrued the
terms of the Israeli proposal. But Mr. Ben-Gvir also said Mr. Netanyahu has yet
to provide the actual details of the ceasefire deal. On Monday, Mr. Ben-Gvir
threatened to pull his Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party out of Mr.
Netanyahu’s governing coalition if he finds that the prime minister agreed to a
“promiscuous deal” to end the war without outright eliminating Hamas.
Mr.
Miller insisted on Tuesday that the ceasefire proposal Mr. Biden described on
May 31 is the same one the Israeli government has put out and that it’s now up
to Hamas leaders to accept the terms. Still, reporters questioned whether a
sign-off by Hamas was the last step in implementing the deal.
“We
are convinced it is the case that Israel is ready to implement this deal. As I
said, it’s their proposal, a proposal put forward by the government and they
have maintained to us they’re ready to implement it,” Mr. Miller said. “Doesn’t
mean there aren’t voices inside Israel, or voices even inside the Israeli
government opposed to it. But the government, speaking on behalf of the
government, has said they support this proposal and are ready to stand behind
that. We take them at their word.”
