We reported on Joe Biden's claim about a possible ceasefire by next Monday.

But as I noted in reporting on his Seth Meyer's interview, Biden was eating ice cream, and he appeared to not know what he was saying even as he said it.
REPORTER: "Can you give us a sense of when you think that ceasefire will start?"
BIDEN (confused): "Well I hope by the beginning of the weekend. I mean the end of the weekend. At least my national security advisor tells me that we're close." pic.twitter.com/lY2ffcg3Jh— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) February 26, 2024
"Well, I hope by the beginning of the weekend," Biden said
"I mean the end of the weekend. At least my national security advisor tells me that we're close."
So the media ran with that. Unfortunately, it's Joe Biden, so they should have known better.
That's a big problem when you can't even trust if he knows what he's talking about from one minute to the next — when he can't get leaders' names right or even the year right.
When Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu was asked about it, he said he was "surprised" by what Biden said. That doesn't bode well for Biden's claim being hinged in any kind of reality.
Netanyahu further said in a statement later on Tuesday that he had been "leading a political campaign whose purpose is to curb the pressures intended to end the war before its time" and that the Harvard-Harris poll indicates that 82 percent of the American people support Israel. "This gives us two more strength to continue the campaign until the complete victory," he said.
That sounds like it might be a shot at Biden's effort to pressure him.
It turns out even Hamas and Qatar (who has been brokering talks) shot down Biden's claim about a potential temporary ceasefire. One Hamas leader, Ahmad Abdelhadi, said they weren't agreeing to any deal that didn't have a permanent ceasefire. The Qataris who have been brokering talks said that while they were optimistic, there hadn't been any breakthroughs.
In other words, Biden seems to have had no idea what he is talking about.
So the press asked NSC spokesperson John Kirby if he could explain what Biden was talking about.
REPORTER: Netanyahu said he was "surprised" by Biden's comments on the possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza "by Monday" — so why did Biden say that?
JOHN KIRBY: I can't speak to that pic.twitter.com/a9OpcPebln— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) February 27, 2024
Kirby said he couldn't speak for why Netanyahu was surprised, ducking the question about why Biden said it. He also claimed that Biden was being kept up to speed on the issue. Yet it doesn't appear that Biden is "up to speed" when he gets something like that so wrong.
Translation: Hey, he was just misleading everyone, no harm, no foul. It just happened to be on the eve of the Michigan primary with its substantial Muslim population. So you can take your pick: complete nonsense exaggeration because he's out of his mind and/or trying to convince voters to vote for him with the claim.
Either way, if we can't rely upon our alleged leader having some relation to reality — if other countries can't rely upon what our leader is saying — we are in deep doo.
There is not going to be a cease fire. Unless Hamas surrenders. Biden was totally out to lunch. As usual.
“Biden Claim of Possible Imminent Gaza Ceasefire Appears to Have Been Nonsense, and That’s Concerning”
Biden Appears to Be the epitome of Nonsense
There, fixed it
The reason why Biden said it is because he knew the pro Hamas crowd was going to greet him at nbc studios last night so he wanted them to know he stands with Hamas
Actually when Joe was slurping his ice cream he said “by this weekend”
There will be a ceasefire in the Middle East when Israel has completed the eradication of the Islamofascistnazis.
Not expected any time soon.
Pray for Israel to have the strength to eradicate Hamas and Hezbollah. Thrn.... We shall see.
Liars lie.
Unexpected
“In other words, Biden seems to have had no idea what he is talking about.”
This has been demonstrably true for the last 50 years.
CC
they talk not to convey facts
they talk to effect emotions.
their goal isn't to convey truth
their goal is manipulation. to them there is no such thing as a lie cuz there is no such thing as truth only perception. they are rudderless ships tossed to and fro by ever changing winds.
It's not concerning.
You'd have to be retarded to even listen to that moron.
self preservation and enrichment is their only instinct.
I try to afford Biden sone hood motives in this but he’s always badmouthing and meddling with and threatening Israel — and during wartime too. It is totally unprincipled to be supporting Arab terrorists at any time but especially now it is disgusting
I still would like to think he has good intentions. But he definitely needs to start sounding like it. And stop reading the antisemitic scripts his handlers give him
Possible? Yes. Probable? Not really.
🔝
How about:
one hostage freed -> no aerial bombing for 24 hours
And of course Israel is going to let the clock tick if Hamas sends out the hostages.
There also should be an incentive to release more than one a day. Perhaps a 12-hour bonus for every one after the first on any day.
Release 4 hostages on Wednesday = 4 days + 36 hours no aerial bombing
Biden tried to make Hamas sympathetic
I have no proof for what I’m about to say, but it’s not unreasonable to suspect that the - Hamas understood what was about to take place and wanted to break it up before it happened.Thank you

See! They would have stopped 10/7 attack if they had known according to Koe. Of course he has no proof. No one mentions Biden’s lying here.
If I was Bibi, I would call a press conference and state that “Joe Biden does not and NEVER will speak for the Israeli Gov’t or her people”. He is outright lying to the American public.
Bibi would be a fool to stop now, and allow tha enemy to regroup.
