President Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday toward a cease-fire deal that would release the remaining hostages in Gaza and suggested that U.S. policy on the war will depend on Israel’s ability to better protect civilians and humanitarian workers after an attack that killed a contingent of international aid workers this week.
Biden spoke with Netanyahu days after an Israeli strike killed seven humanitarian aid workers with World Central Kitchen, a charity group that was distributing food to Palestinians in Gaza. The president told Netanyahu the incident was “unacceptable.”
“He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,” the White House said in a readout of the call. “He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”
The White House said Biden “underscored that an immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians, and he urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home.”

I agree with the resident on something 😲
Actions speak louder than words though. He wont cut them off.
One would thing the GOP would issue a strong response to Biden making unilateral policy changes with Israel...crickets.
BIDEN HAS TOTALLY ENCOURAGED THE INVASION OF THE USA.
HE HAS NO COMPETENT VOICE IN THIS
Politically speaking it might be an opportunity
But you must be aware the GOP has a strong non-intervention wing and that extends to even Israel so not an easy position.
For example, people like me. I’m against ALL foreign aid.
The is what Chi ordered Biden to do.
Kabuki Time.
Israel and the US have to be on side with each other as the Ukraine War and the confrontation with China escalates.
I am a Zionist but know Netanyahu is a politician who would cut a deal with the Saudis if he could to sell out Jews who live in Judea and Samaria for a Palestinian state.
October 7th has shook things up Biden has to put on a show but he can’t break free Netanyahu keeps attacking things killing aid workers, civilians the Left will walk on Biden and Trump is back without a doubt.
And what about the GOP ??
There can and be no ceasefire with such evil bloodthirsty mass-murderers... until the IDF successfully dispatches them all to Jahannam (Moslem Hell) and manages to find and free any hostages the Fakestinians haven’t already murdered.
Even thinking about a “ceasefire” before then is morally bankrupt and frankly disgusting coming from an American politician. Disgusting!
How do you know this?
“I am a Zionist but know Netanyahu is a politician who would cut a deal with the Saudis if he could to sell out Jews who live in Judea and Samaria for a Palestinian state.”
You know, there’s a lot of talk about Biden trying to shore up the Muslim voters and of course they always depend on support from black and Hispanic voters, but I wonder how much calculation has been done on the loss of Jewish voters (other than the self-hating leftists) if he keeps hammering Israel.
Stock market had rough ending again, DJIA down 1.35%
Biden unilaterally changing Israel policy doesn't help.
IMHO, Israel should smite the jihadists wherever they are to be found!

I would say Joe’s bluffing. Even if he’s not and he decides to cut off Israel, that’s fine. He can get the pro-Hamas vote.
IMHO, he’s a plant..
The Jews live in LA and NYC so Joe is not going to need their vote. Many of the Muslims live in Dearborn.
agreed! Bibi needs to take the gloves off already!
And there may be a connection to Biden closing Strategic Petroleum Reserve (”SPR”) purchases.
And a connection with Biden blocking permits for new, natural gas / LNG export infrastructure.
U.S.A. Strategic Petroleum Reserve
When Trump left office: SPR 638,086,000 barrels
Biden in office, latest: SPR 363,641,000 barrels
It is a bluff. I agree.
Actions speak louder..
