Inside President Biden’s pointed phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu
CNN ^ | Sun April 7, 2024 | MJ Lee

Posted on 04/06/2024 9:45:05 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

President Joe Biden ticked through several things that he needed to see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu do immediately: open up the Erez crossing into northern Gaza and the port of Ashdod in southern Israel for humanitarian aid; significantly ramp up the supplies getting in through Kerem Shalom.

A person familiar with the Thursday call paraphrased Netanyahu as responding: “Joe, we’re gonna do it.”

But Biden wasn’t finished. The prime minister must announce the moves that evening, the president insisted.

By Thursday night, the Israeli security cabinet had approved those three measures to increase humanitarian aid entering the besieged enclave.

The relatively brief phone call between the two leaders this week marked the first time since Hamas’ attack on Israel in October that Biden threatened Netanyahu with serious consequences if Israel did not change the way it was waging its war in Gaza. Biden, who has remained steadfast in his support of Israel’s right to defend itself — even amid growing political backlash at home — warned the prime minister that if conditions did not rapidly improve for civilians in the strip, he would reconsider how the US was backing Israel in the conflict.

No one on the line decided to record it and release it to the media, as happened several times to PDJT? Huh. Oh well.

Biden has no right or authority to *dictate* to the leader of another country anything.

What a sock puppet.

Why not? We are the ones giving Israel weapons, right?

CNN sure is going to great lengths to paint biden as the competent, wise political leader who is IN CHARGE and gets things done, aren’t they?

No, but Obama thinks he does.

That’s where this is coming from.

Biden can barely breathe, walk, talk... he hasn’t formed a
policy in his own head in decades.

“A person familiar with the call”... “paraphrased Netanyahu”...

No names, no recordings, no nothing.

Gaslighting bullshit from CNN, made up out of whole cloth. May CNN’s entire organization suffer the violent wrath of GOD.

If Trump did something like this, the media/left would be apoplectic. “WTF does he think he is, ordering other foreign leaders around? Some kind of dictator?” Joke does it and the CNN anchors pretend it’s perfectly normal.

Wasn’t Trump impeached for delaying Ukraine aid for 60 days?

By that logic France had the right to tell Gen. Washington how to run the war against the British.

Amazingly, I intercepted this call on my shortwave radio.

Apparently “GFY” translates into Hebrew exactly as it sounds in English. To Netanyahu’s credit, he repeated it several times so that his meaning was clearly understood.

A smilar telephone call to a European president was used in an attempt to impeach him.

In the fall Potato Joe expounded on the 18th century just war theory... not.

Biden probably mumbled and drooled.

For years, the prophecy on end times had all nations turning against Israel. I never thought the US would.. But look at today.. The gov has been hijacked by antiIsrael people.. Corruption in control.

Yep

Zechariah 14:1-3 21st Century King James Version

14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2 For I will gather ALL nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished. And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle.
