“Last night, we received a reminder of what a real leader looks like, who cares for Israel’s future and not his own. Thank you President Biden,” said Shaul Meridor, the former head of the Finance Ministry’s budget department, referring to the US president’s speech on Friday in which he outlined Israel’s proposal for a deal leading to a ceasefire and release of hostages, urged the Israeli government to stand behind it and called on Hamas to accept it.
Slightly out of date now since Israel has, apparently, accepted the deal Biden’s administration came up with. They’re bitching about it, but they say they have accepted it.
The protest should be held to ensure that the government actually follows through.
That’s great - I hadn’t seen the news yet. Hopefully this one sticks…
I am trying to remain hopeful.
An aide said they would agree, nothing has been done yet, and the conditions are not clear.
For all we know this is israel preparing to blame an aid for a misunderstanding, while they keep killing Palestinians and Biden gets to look good in the media.
Diamond Joe strikes again!
It will be interesting to see whether or not this gives Biden a boost in the polls. It may be too late for that, but I hope not.
I don’t put too much faith in polls anymore. The democrats have over performed in every election since 2018.
He definitely has a thin-ass tightrope to walk with the democratic tent. What easily could be 5 parties are lumped into one because of the two party system.
Sadly the Republicans used to have some level of mixture as well a few decades ago before all the purity tests started.
Yep. That was when the Overton Window lurched to the right into fascist-land for them.
It definitely will. Though many have given up on him already, at least he will be relieved of not being able to go anywhere without Genocide Joe chants.
In hindsight we can now confidently say that Biden should have stopped this far earlier.
Now if Biden actually forced a solution such as the two state one the Palestinians are asking for he can definitely get voters back.
Also last time I checked Benzion Mileikowski still rejects a permanent ceasefire until Hamas is “eradicated”
All I’ve been reading is that accepting that ceasefire is out of the question. Any links on this?
Well, when even your own citizens are crying out for the government to stop they may want to listen. Any use protection as a valid excuse when your citizens are wanting it to end.
