Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu delivered a sharply worded message aimed at US President Joe Biden at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday morning.
“Since the beginning of the war, we have been fighting on two fronts – the military front and the diplomatic front,” Netanyahu began.
“On the diplomatic front, we have so far managed to allow our forces to fight in an unprecedented manner for five full months. But it is no secret that the international pressures against us are increasing. There are those in the international community who are trying to stop the war now, before all its goals are achieved. They do this by making false accusations against the IDF, against the Israeli government and against the prime minister of Israel.”
“They do this by trying to bring about elections now, amid the war. And they do this because they know that elections now will stop the war, and paralyze the country for at least six months.”
“So let’s be clear: if we stop the war now, before all of its goals are achieved, it means that Israel lost the war, and we will not allow that. That is why we must not give in to these pressures, and we will not concede to them.”
“On the contrary, this simple truth only strengthens our determination to continue fighting against the pressure and continue the war until the end – until absolute victory. No amount of international pressure will stop us from realizing all the goals of the war: eliminating Hamas, releasing all our hostages, and ensuring that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel.”
“To do this, we will also operate in Rafah. This is the only way to eliminate the rest of Hamas’s murderous battalions it’s the only way to apply the military pressure necessary to release all our hostages. To accomplish this, we approved the operational plans for a military operation in Rafah, including the advancement of steps to evacuate the civilian population from the battle zones. This is a necessary step towards military action.”
“Those who say that the operation in Rafah will not happen are the same ones who said that we won’t enter Gaza, that we won’t operate in Shifa [Hospital], that we won’t operate in Khan Younis and that we won’t resume fighting after the ceasefire.
“And that’s why I say again – we will operate in Rafah. It will take a few weeks, and it will happen.”
“And to our friends in the international community, I say: Is your memory so short? You forgot October 7th, the worst massacre committed against Jews since the Holocaust, so quickly? You’re ready to deny Israel the right to defend itself against the monsters of Hamas so quickly? Did you lose your moral conscience so quickly?”

If you examine Biden’s record over the last 50 years, you will find no evidence for the existence of a “moral compass” (he tends to support whatever he thinks will get him elected, regardless of principles – and freely adjusts to make his audience happy). He is shown great consistency (contrary to those who feels his minds is getting worse due to old age – his mind is no weaker than it was 50 years ago).
Bibi & Co: you also lost YOUR moral compass if you don’t understand that the 7th October wasn’t much worse, that Hizbollah didn’t join in, that under the circumstances the death toll of Israeli soldiers could have cholliloh been far worse and the fact it didn’t was ONLY IN ZCHUS OF TENS OF THOUSANDS BOCHRIM AND AVREICHIM LEARNING TORAH FULL TIME – DRAFTING BNEI TORAH CAN CHOLILOH HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES FOR ISRAEL!

💯
Every normal person’s thoughts as well, bezer hashem: destroy Hamas completely!
Bibi doesn’t blast Biden. YWN wants to attract readers with sensational headlines, but distortion of facts will only push readers away.
“pressures against us are increasing”
..Like the pressure you put on people to take unessary risk (spike toxin) on youth and previously infected.
Yes, people’s memory are indeed “short” to even trust this corrupt moron who clearly failed to protect the border.
Israel is losing the diplomatic war in a big way! Why? Because they don’t understand Public Relations. Hamas realizes that facts don’t matter; it’s perception that counts. Hams puts out fake numbers, photos, videos, and claims of atrocities that the media picks up; Israel puts out facts which don’t generate publicity. Israel keeps repeating the same mantra of October 7th which doesn’t generate any interest because it’s the same thing over and over and boring by now.
Abba Eban (the ultimate leftist) had the U.N. eating out of his hand, because what ro say and how to say it. Golda Meir understood the American psyche. Netanyahu and his cabinet have no understanding of public relations. He may know how to talk to much of the Israeli public, but that’s all they know how. They need to hire a good American PR form to teach them. Until they learn, they will continue to lose on the diplomatic front which in turn will hurt their war effort.
The fact that he said “בעזרת ד'” gives me hope.
Classic clickbait headline. Great job
Netanyahu knows all too well that this is an election year and Biden is under orders by his overseers (Obama and the DNC) to pander to his base. The only compass point on any politician’s radar is re-election.
Rabosi,
This is playing out a lot like megilas esther. We thought, correction, SOME thought that we had friends in high places. They thought that Chuck U Schumer as the leader of the Democrat Party in the Senate would protect klal yisroel like he’s been saying all these years (and not really delivering). We thought the political leadership would protect us, but we see they don’t really care. They are out for themselves. They are out for their vote. They want a two-state solution to work, Michigan and Minnesota. They don’t care about us no matter how much they claim. The fact that we have goyim in the House and Senate standing up and telling Chuck U Schumer off, says something, but does it really mean anything in the long run?
The truth is, as the Rov of my shul said on Shabbos, during the happenings in the megila, We thought, don’t worry we know Esther is queen and she’ll make sure that everything works out. But what happens, the first thing is she says to Mordechai, לך כנוס את כל היהודים בשושן מנער ועד זקן וצומו עלי ואל תאכלו ואל תשתו שלושת ימים after that she goes to invite המן הרשע to a party. The whole point of what went on and why we were saved is because we increased in tefila. That’s really something that we need to do. For all of you who walk out of shul tehilim said, it’s time for you to reconsider and make sure to stay in until it’s finished. The extra minute or two is not going to hurt you but by doing so you are saving yiddin!!!
STAY INSIDE AND DON’T LEAVE!
Did he mention Biden? No.
The longer Israel waits the worse the pressure will grow. Any pause makes the enemy stronger!
To the goyim it’s “blasting” him. I’ve said to middle-americans that “I disagree” with something or other, and it becomes the greatest scandal of all time and I’m so rude, etc etc.
To biden, this is a blasting.
Bibi is not only wreaking havoc in the Middle East but is intentionally doing so here in America.
Even as a lifeling Republican, but as an AMERICAN citizen, I take deep offense in his careless reckless rhetoric against a sitting president, while endangering Klal Yisrael.
Biden gave him a blank check for all the war crimes committed. Its time to wake up and put a stop to this endless war.
Bibi has overstepped his bounds. How much longer will the world cuddle to Israel fearing to be deemed antisemites?
The biggest antisemite of all times is none other than BIBI.
HES PUTTING ALL JEWS IN HARMS WAY. People wake up!!!
@jackk
😂 😂
He mentioned Biden the same way that Biden mentioned former, and hopefully future, President Trump in the State of The Union Address.
While not mentioning his name outright, anyone with an iota of an IQ knows exactly who he’s referring to.
BIBI talks one way but his actions say a different story
BIBI gave into Biden from day one when he brought them into Israel into the security cabinet and listen to their nonsense, instead he should have listened to the Israeli citizens BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT who wanted him to destroy Hamas and Gaza in the first week.
What did BIBI do, he kept all the bad generals and brought more leftists to the military cabinet, he waited more than a week to start the war, in the beginning they still gave a warning to the people in Gaza who’s building were being bombed to get out (until the Israeli public made noise about it), the last few months he has scaled back the was big time, even though they have yet to even reach 40% of their goals
BIBI and ALL THE LEADERS from צהל שב״כ אמ״ן have to be replaced
BIBI should have finished the job Olin the first few weeks, destroy everything including hospitals schools used for terror activities- Shoukd have stuck with NO FOOD WATER until all hostages are back, use cheap old bombs to bomb Gaza not the multi million dollars missiles which make them so dependent on the USA
There is so much to say… but who listens anyways
Israel keeps getting into these endless troubles because they love the fake friendship they get from the US more than their own citizens
YWN what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you putting up lying headlines that only make our enemies hate us more?
You are traitors.
People, don’t compare the holiness of Megilas Esther to the shameful acts of Bibi and his cohorts.
Zionists are אפיקורסים with nothing Jewishness to them. They are עובר on basic principles of the Torah. The worst sins is promoted in the Jewish state.
Zionist fit the bill of being more equivalent to אחשורוש and further down.
Miriam, Miriam.
Maybe you are halachacly Jewish, it could be you are just terribly misguided. But there is no way you are a Republican.
No real Republican has so much Jew hate as you display.
I heard chuck shumer call himself chuck ShOmer Yisroel,, I think we need to change his name to chuck SONAI Yisroel. just saying.
chaya13:
If the head of Jews for J said those same words, would that give you hope? The Zionist idol is infinitely worse.
Circle:
No, it is you who are terribly misguided. She is absolutely right and not at all anti-Jewish. Zionism is of course the polar opposite of Judaism.
