Critics have hammered Biden’s foreign policy from the very start of his presidency. Republicans blame Biden for the Taliban taking over Afghanistan. Biden is blamed for the war in Ukraine, because he “greenlit” Putin’s invasion.
And many fear Biden’s weakness on Iran and China could lead to more conflict.
But, for a while, he has been supportive of one country: Israel. Despite intense backlash from progressives, he’s continued America’s support of Israel. But it is likely Biden fears losing votes over this issue. Because he just announced a shock plan that will only hurt our Middle Eastern ally.
From Fox News:
The Biden administration is reportedly taking its goal of a temporary cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war to the U.N. Security Council as early as Tuesday.The administration is said to have proposed a draft U.N. Security Council resolution which in part would call for a temporary cease-fire and call on Israel not to go into Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
After progressives threatened Biden with not voting for him over Israel, the president is pushing a seemingly anti-Israel plan. The administration is reportedly going to champion a cease-fire plan before the UN. He also wants to stop Israel’s campaign in Rafah, which has helped the country defeat terrorists.
This sudden turnaround might be fueled by Biden’s fears over November. It does not appear that America nor Israel will gain anything from a cease-fire. Many experts have explained a cease-fire only benefits Hamas.
It could give them time to regain resources and momentum to attack Israel again. Even Hillary Clinton warned against a cease-fire. Yet Biden has been hit with repeated attacks from progressives, including college students, who continue to accuse Israel of “genocide.”
Should Biden go ahead with his call for a cease-fire, it can be assumed that Israel will not agree. The nation has vowed to eradicate Hamas over its October 7th attack. The previous cease-fire was to negotiate the release of hostages. But Hamas broke that cease-fire with a volley of attacks.
Would Biden turn on Israel officially and side with terror group Hamas? That might be possible, but it would have dire consequences for his administration and reelection chances.
Key Takeaways:
- Joe Biden is pushing a cease-fire demand in Israel before the UN.
- Experts oppose a cease-fire, explaining it would only benefit Hamas.
- Biden could be doing this on pressure from anti-Israel progressive groups.
