The Biden administration, in its latest desperate attempt to stop Israel from obliterating Hamas, is offering Israel “valuable assistance,” including sensitive intelligence information if it halts its plan to launch a full-scale military operation in Rafah, The Washington Post reported on Shabbos.
The intelligence information would help Israel pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the terror group’s terror tunnels.
If the report is true, it raises disturbing questions about why the US, Israel’s supposed ally, hasn’t shared the information with Israel until now, especially considering the fact that US citizens are being held hostage in Gaza.
The Biden administration, with its obsessive focus on providing humanitarian aid to “innocent” Gaza civilians, is also offering assistance in providing thousands of shelters so Israel can build tent cities for civilians evacuated from Rafah.
Meanwhile, Egypt, in a protest against Israel’s operation near its border, is refusing to cooperate with Israel to facilitate aid into Gaza from the Rafah Crossing and aid shipments have come to a standstill.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for condemnations of Egypt from the Biden administration or the international press.

Hamas’s last attempt to survive. It wouldn’t be the first time this war Israel caved to pressure and spared them.
Why would the us be withholding location info on an arch terrorist from one of their main allies?
WTH
And the liberal Jews will continue to vote one way. There is no cure.
The story states, “If the report is true, it raises disturbing questions about why the US, Israel’s supposed ally, hasn’t shared the information with Israel until now….”
This was the scenario Jonathan Pollard faced back in 1987. He ended up with very, very serious jail sentence because he told Israel what America was then obligated to tell them.
This is how the Democrats operate! Nuthin new! Same ol’! Same ol’!
Other than Sinwar ym”sh’s head on a silver platter, this info won’t stop the incursion into Rafah. And if America has been withholding info like this that could have stopped or changed the war, then it is either an unforgivable travesty, or just false info or useless info.
Yaapchik; In 1987 Reagan was President. He was not a Democrat.
This is the headline of the WP article:
“U.S. offers Israel intelligence, supplies in effort to avoid Rafah invasion.”
This is the subhead: “Netanyahu has promised to enter Rafah with “extreme force,” while Biden wants any operation to be targeted. ”
Nothing about the Biden’s Administration’s “latest attempt to stop Israel from obliterating Hamas” because there is no attempt by Biden to prevent the obliteration of Hamas. There are difference’s of opinion on how to do it. More Targeted (Biden) or a massive Invasion of Rafah (Netanyahu).
Why would America offer assistance to Israel to obliterate Hamas if they don’t want Israel obliterating Hamas?
Israel , who we know is doing as much as it can to not kill civilians, must explain itself if it not willing to accept the American offer of assistance to evacuate the “innocent” (sic) civilians in Rafah.
How could YWN suggest that it is the right thing for Israel to launch a “full- scale” invasion without pausing to resolve the humanitarian crisis which America is willing to assist in resolving ?
However ,this is a paragraph in the WP article that YWN seems to have missed which it should have made into a headline.
“The Biden administration has made an internal assessment that Hamas — and its leader in Gaza, Yehiya Sinwar — would welcome a major, protracted battle in Rafah that is destructive and deadly, according to a senior administration official, because it would further isolate Israel.”
Based on this , let us answer 2 rhetorical questions.
1) Will we be happy when a full-scale invasion by Israel in Rafah causes a jump in pro-palestinian support and an increase in anti-semitism all over the world ?
2) Are we happy that the U.N. General Assembly has just voted by a wide margin to grant new “rights and privileges” to Palestine and has called on the Security Council to reconsider Palestine’s request to become the 194th member of the United Nations ?
Regarding “Bribery” in the title of this post – does YWN -Jerusalem Desk work for the Republican party ?
Jackk, what you are saying is completely untrue. Biden did not want israel to enter Gaza at all. And what is exactly is a “more targeted” approach than fighting on the ground vs bombing from air which would save many idf soldiers’ lives? You can’t get a more targeted” approach than how Israel is fighting this urban war.
Your comment “Why would America offer assistance to Israel to obliterate Hamas if they don’t want Israel obliterating Hamas?” is exactly right. Why do you lie about Biden’s intentions and then reveal it in the next sentence? The absurdity of terrorist supporters like yourself is next level.
Israel needs to explain nothing to the haters, except ask the world where are the hostages hidden between the supposed innocent civilians” of Gaza?
Even when Israel gave away land to the Gazans the world was against Israel. Israel is now in a war for its survival, not only for the government’s survival but for the survival of Jews in Israel. Antisemitism worldwide is as old as the Jewish nation, nothing we do or dont do can prevent that. We must to our hishtadlus to protect ourselves.
Palestine was never a country, it always was a colonial entity. It is the liberal Israelis fault for having had a hand in propping up the Fakestinian narrative. Now they are paying the price for doing that. That is no reason to leave Hamas with the capabilities of building up their terrorist infrastructure again.
jackk,
Welcome back, you brown-shirted mah-yofis! We were all so worried about the long delay to defend your woke high priest. It must have taken a while to spew so much word-salad and you must have gotten help from your brilliant girlfriend, the horse-faced, hyena laughing VP.
Are you actually dumb enough to believe that a “targeted” operation approved by the incontinent, incompetent, anti-Semitic Brandon would result in less worldwide anti-Semitism and U.N. support? What does it say about your supposed Jewishness that you’re not criticizing the useless turd for withholding vital information and weaponry from Israel?
Regarding “Bribery”, how much is your hero Soros paying you to post your excrement to this site or is it your privilege to do so gratis, as his chief quisling and kapo?
Jackk; Are you happy that the Biden administration withheld this information from an ally which could have used it to target Sinwar and/or potentially rescue the hostages which include American citizens? Sharing this info as soon as they got it would have likely brought this war to a speedier conclusion.
I meant to write that Biden did not want Israel to enter Rafah, I did not mean Gaza
Philospher,
Since you mostly respectfully posted, I will respond.
Where do you get that Biden did not want Israel to enter Gaza?
It is not true. Biden and the US were 100% supportive of Israel entering Gaza , destroying Hamas and getting back the captives. How much aid does Israel need to get from America for Biden to prove that he is on their side and not the terrorists? How many times does Blinken have to visit Israel to prove he is on their side and not the terrorists?
A more targeted approach is when you evacuate the 1.3 million civilians which moved into Rafah under your direction, give them shelter, food and medicine , and you do not destroy it until then.
“You can’t get a more targeted” approach than how Israel is fighting this urban war, but you can get more concern for 1.3 million civilians when America is offering to assist. They may even be begging Israel to let them assist.
Does calling me a terrorist supporter make you feel good ? Cut the ridiculous name-calling. I noticed you did not answer the 2 rhetorical questions. They are important questions because even if Hamas loses the war they can declare victory if they win politically in the UN, cause Israel to become more isolated or cause an increase in anti-semitic attacks in the world.
Israel doesn’t need to explain anything to the haters, but there are a lot of people who are not haters that will isolate Israel if, as the WP writes , Israel engages in a major, protracted battle in Rafah that is destructive and deadly. Rafah is the last stand. In war, you always must leave an escape route. In Rafah, Hamas is going to fight to the bitter end.
I fully agree with the last 2 paragraphs.
Thankfully, I am not a General in the Israeli army or work for the Israeli War cabinet. It is possible that they have decided that it is worth it militarily and politically for them to go into Rafah and destroy Hamas without evacuating civilians and providing humanitarian assistance.
jackk,
“Israel doesn’t need to explain anything to the haters”
Wake up; Brandon, the worthless turd, is a hater.
