Netanyahu says Israel will defy Biden's 'red line' on Rafah

 "They understand that, and even agree with it quietly," he said. "They understand Hamas is part of the Iranian terror axis." Rafah is where four Hamas battalions are located, according to The Jersualem Post

Madeleine Hubbard   "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he plans on continuing Israel's operation in the Gaza Strip by entering Rafah, which President Joe Biden called his "red line" in the Israel-Hamas War.

"Biden has been sending humanitarian aid to Gaza, where six Americans have been held hostage since Oct. 7, 2023, as he has been increasing pressure on Israel to protect Gazans. Tensions most recently flared between the two global leaders during Biden's MSNBC interview that aired Saturday.  

" 'What is your red line with Prime Minister Netanyahu? Do you have a red line?" host Jonathan Capehart asked Biden. "For instance, would invasion of Rafah, which you have urged him not to do, would that be a red line?"

" 'It is a red line, but I'm never gonna leave Israel," Biden responded. "The defense of Israel is still critical, so there's no redline I'm going to cut off all weapons so I don't have the iron dome to protect them, but there's redlines that if he crosses – you cannot have 30,000 more Palestinians dead as a consequence of going after Hamas." 

"Biden was referring to the death toll promulgated by the Gaza Health Ministry of more than 30,000 killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, although the Hamas-run agency does not distinguish between combatant and civilian casualties. Israel launched an operation against Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks that left about 1,200 people dead in Israel and resulted in the kidnappings of 250 others as approximately 130 remain captive. 

Netanyahu, however, rebuffed Biden's criticism on Sunday when he was asked about whether Israeli forces would enter Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. 

" 'We'll go there. We're not going to leave them. You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is? That October 7 doesn't happen again. Never happens again," Netanyahu said, according to Politico.

"Netanyahu also said several Arab leaders, whom he did not name, tacitly supported his efforts to oust Hamas from power in the strip." . . .

“[Israelis] also support my position that says that we should resoundingly reject the attempt to ram down our throats a Palestinian state,” Netanyahu said. - JNS.org   Wouldn't a Palestinian state be something like having Gaza as a neighbor? How has that worked out for us all recently? Joe Biden, a man habitually wrong on world affairs seems to think this is the way to go and would have the support of hordes of mal-educated products of American education behind him.

The United States and the international community continue to push Israel to create a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip when the war is over, but as I demonstrate on In Focus, the parties involved don’t want it. The Palestinians want to annihilate Israel and Israel wants to continue existing.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough Went Into Full North Korea Mode Defending Joe Biden (townhall.com)

. . ."I don’t even think the politburo in Pyongyang would go this far, and they have North Koreans thinking Kim Jong Un can hear their thoughts. I wonder if Scarborough still thinks Biden is at his best after that disastrous State of the Union, where his Irish fury did bubble up, and he ranted like a crazy man. The temper never left, and it’s at a point in the White House where staffers reportedly have a buddy system when an aide is set to get his or her rear end chewed out by the cantankerous, half-braindead president who can’t remember when his son died." . . .   Video

If Churchill had Biden as an ally in 1940, he and his war cabinet would all have been slain with a pro-Nazi government  ruling the UK. Biden would have been one more Quisling or Laval ruling Britain's allies. The one bright spot for England would have been that Biden would be Britain's least intelligent adversary. TD

UPDATED:    "The Biden administration goes on a full-on assault on Israel saying Netanyahu needs a "coming to Jesus" moment. announces a port that will deliver lots of aid into the hands of Hamas, and continues to work to overthrow the Israeli government."
