U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is warning Israel that it risks destroying an eventual possibility for peace unless it acts swiftly to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza for Palestinian civilians as it intensifies its war against Hamas.

      Of course not, but Biden admin is panicking because if the Israeli’s keep this going eventually the de facto regional war that is going on will become a de jure one.

      They are pretty much begging Isreal to not erode any more of their legitimacy in the middle east and globally. It is not working.

        United States influence in the middle east is finished and won’t recover for a generation.

        The Isrealis don’t listen to them. The Arabs no longer listen to them. Other world powers (China and Russia) are increasing their influence.

        It’s over.

      Didn’t they release a document this week being like “Yeah we want all Palestinians to get the fuck out of Israel, they can go to Canada or some shit”?

      I mean it’s no surprise. They have never been subtle about their genocidal intentions.

    Biden’s positioning himself to be an “ally to Israel” but not to Bibi. Bibi’s a sinking ship. They don’t actually care about anyone in Gaza though.
