Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he’s preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be “final”.

They’ve hewn very close to the whole “unconditional support” thing, so I’m curious what that means exactly.

    Hmmm, let’s see, Netanyahu has been non-stop bombing Gaza since… last October.

    It’s almost October again. It’s nearly been a full year since the actual initial attack.

    There was never a justification to still be bombing nearly a year later after one attack.

    It’s clear Netanyahu has no intention to stop.

    He added that the US would not give up, and would “push as hard as we can” for a deal.

    If denying future arms shipments isn’t on the table then this statement is a lie

    If only Biden had some kind of leverage he could use on Bibi like putting conditions on arms exports oh wait he completely refuses to do that so this is just bs rhetoric

      Yeah, I’m not sure what the plan is if they turn down the “final” offer. The last time the US bluffed, that I know of, was the red line in Syria, and that involved a place Americans don’t care about, and would have involved another American war in the Middle East to respond to.

      I find “China’s final warning” and actual consequences for Israel equally unlikely. Is there a third option?

        You’re not? The plan is to enable genocide no matter what.

        The US will never stop supporting Israel. They are too dependent on it geopolitically. I believe we may see some more inner political movement against Netanjahu supported by certain US agencies. He will not survive this conflict as prime minister. This will of course not help Palestinians in the long run but it may help with a ceasefire and as a result help the democrats in the upcoming election which would be the main goal right now.

        He won’t because he’s a Zionist. Biden will literally spend the rest of his presidency helping Netanyahu help trump get elected

    Hopefully, this means that Bibi repeatedly humiliating the US finally broke through the fucking insane inflexible support the US has had for Israel the past 40 years.

      You’d think.

      But Biden is still gargling those balls; and still hasn’t stopped weapons shipments.

      Guess 4.2 million . Is a lot of loyalty.

    Oh it’s final this time. 5 more years of this and Israel will see their supply drying up, you know, maybe, possibly.

    Oh, oh, now you done it, that’s another 10000 children. You’re very very close to the limit, mister. You better watch out or, you’ll get slighly less aid next time! We’re not kidding this time.

    Biden probably means that Netanyahu hasn’t murdered enough children, and will follow up by sending more weapons.

    Lmao I read that as “Biden not doing enough to secure Gaza hostage deal, says Biden,” and got real confused.
