Biden suggests Netanyahu’s political interests pushing him to extend war

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/04/politics/biden-hints-netanyahu-is-dragging-out-gaza-war-for-political-survival/index.html

The US president has given a wide-ranging interview to Time Magazine focused on foreign policy, including the war on Gaza.

In it, Joe Biden suggests that Netanyahu, who faces a litany of corruption charges in Israel, may be dragging the war out to keep his grip on power.

Asked whether he thought Netanyahu was prolonging the war for his own political reasons, Biden said, ” I’m not going to comment on that. There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion.”

Biden also said his main disagreement with the Israeli prime minister, who has long refused to entertain a two-state solution, is “what happens after, what happens after Gaza’s over”. The US president gave the interview, which was released today, on May 28 – several days before he unveiled a three-stage ceasefire proposal that has drawn mixed reactions from Israeli political leaders.


Biden keeps on lying and pretending

Biden says ‘uncertain’ if Israel committed war crimes

Asked whether he’s seen evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza, the US president said, “The answer is it’s uncertain.”

“But one thing is certain,” he added. “The people in Gaza, the Palestinians have suffered greatly, for lack of food, water, medicine, etc. And a lot of innocent people have been killed.”

Biden went on to blame Hamas for contributing to Palestinians’ suffering, saying the group is fully responsible for blocking a ceasefire agreement and could “end this tomorrow”.

Earlier today, a senior Hamas official expressed frustration at the suggestion it is hampering a ceasefire, saying the White House knows that it is Israel who is not serious about reaching a deal in Gaza.


Biden believes some US citizens held captive in Gaza ‘still alive’

In his interview with Time magazine, the US president also gave an update on eight US citizens held captive in Gaza, saying he believes “there are those that are still alive”.

“But we don’t have final proof on exactly who’s alive and who’s not alive,” he added.

According to an Israeli government tally, 43 of the remaining 120 captives taken to Gaza are believed to be dead, based on intelligence tips, video footage and forensic evidence.
