In an interview broadcast on Tuesday, President Joe Biden demanded that Israel agree to a unilateral six-to-eight week ceasefire in Gaza – without insisting on the release of hostages or even that Hamas shouldn’t attack Israel during that time.
“What I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country,” Biden told Univision, a US Spanish-language TV network.
“I’ve spoken with everyone from the Saudis to the Jordanians to the Egyptians. They’re prepared to move in,” Biden added. “They’re prepared to move this food in. And I think there’s no excuse to not provide for the medical and the food needs of those people. It should be done now.”
The interview was taped last Wednesday, just two days after an Israeli airstrike mistakenly killed three aid workers. In the leadup to the interview being aired, Biden administration officials appeared to backtrack from the president’s comments – saying that it Hamas, not Israel, that is preventing a ceasefire from going into effect.
“There could be a ceasefire in place today that would extend for several weeks to be built upon longer if Hamas would be prepared to release some of those people, so let’s train the attention where it belongs… I believe Israel is ready and Hamas should step up to the table and be prepared to do so as well,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said.
He added that Hamas “has an opportunity now to agree to the proposal on a ceasefire and hostages. The ball is in Hamas’s court. The world is watching to see what it does.”

Maybe it’s time. YWN published an official editors apology for mocking Trump and pushing the Democrats and their agenda which we are all eating the consequences now h’y
Backstabbing Joe is a most befitting name. ימח שמו וזכרו
Those who stab us with a smile are worse than those that do it yelling Allah is great.
The WH has clarified that Biden’s position has NOT changed and that a ceasefire MUST be linked to hostage release. Secretary of State Blinken and Jake Sullivan publicly stated in regard to Biden’s interview that Hamas is the party that must be pressured to reach an agreement. VP Harris met with hostage families today, and some of the families even claim that they are being treated better by Americans than their own government. In the interest of honesty and integrity, it is important to avoid inflammatory headlines and report the full story.
Crooked Joe forgot that moving all the food in, doesn’t help even 1 iota, as long as hamas pounces on all the supply trucks and steal for themselves, but Crooked Joe is too Crooked & too senile to comprehend any of this basic fact.
I think we have three possible conclusions:
1. Mr. Biden is an imbecile when it comes to not understanding the basis of foreign relations.
2. He is accepting money from Qatar and making his foreign policy decisions in favor of the country that sends him the most money.
3. Both of the above are true.
Joe Biden wants to go down as a president that hates Israel more than Obama and Carter.
The only difference between the three was that at least Carter Da Farmer, for the most part, seemed to like the USA.
Biden knows the democrat Jews are more loyal to him than they are to their own Jews brothers and sister in Israel. No matter how anti Jewish and Israel he acts they will vote for him because American Jews for the most part are more liberal and leftist than Jewish but that is not true for the the Muslim/ Arabs in the USA they care about there nazi brethren’s in Gaza so Biden has to pander to the nazi Muslims in the USA . Its always comes back to leftist liberal democratic Jews causing all of us to suffer.
Next step: Watch with horror, as the overwhelming majority of American Jews continue to vote for the Democrats, and *** ONLY *** the Democrats — in addition to donating many millions of dollars to the Democrat Party.
He is misreading the polls and the mass media, probably since he gets most of his political news from left wing sources. He believes his reelection campaign is threated by the prospect of this “Progressive” caucus not supporting him against Trump, and therefore he feels the need to pacify them. He is also confident that many anti-Trump conservatives (for all purposes, those conservatives who were very happy with Reagan and Bush, at least on foreign affairs) will refuse to support Trump (which is why they are called “Never Trumpers”).
What is more likely is that Trump will become increasingly more like Reagan (supporting Israel, warming to NATO, saying nice things about our courageous allies, and nasty things about Xi and Putin) which will open the way for Trump to reunite the Republicans. At the same time, many Democrats who are less than pleased with many of Biden’s “WOKE” policies will be displease by his supporting Hamas and stabbing Israel in the back, and vote for Kennedy, or even for Trump.
For Israelis, it means that instead of dealing with two American parties, one that sort of prefers the Right-Center and the other that sort of prefers the Left-Center, there will be two American parties one that supports Israel and the other that is openly pro-Palestinian and increasingly anti-Semitic. This will force Israel to strive for being able to have the capacity of “winning it all” without American aid and in spite of American opposition (e.g. go back to preferring self-sufficiency economically and militarily, placing a high value on national unity).
