(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza on Thursday, days after Israeli defense forces there killed seven humanitarian aid workers.
In a phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said the situation was unacceptable, according to a readout of the call provided by the White House.
Biden also emphasized several clear-cut points, according to the White House.
“He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,” according to the readout. “He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”
Biden further “underscored that an immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians, and he urged the prime minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home.”
The seven workers were slain Monday.
World Central Kitchen, an internationally recognized humanitarian organization, said the workers were employed with them and targeted. The group has demanded an independent investigation into the deaths.
In a statement from Javier Garcia, the executive co-chairman and treasuer, and CEO Erin Gore, World Central Kitchen said, “This was a military attack that involved multiple strikes and targeted three WCK vehicles. All three vehicles were carrying civilians; they were marked as WCK vehicles; and their movements were in full compliance with Israeli authorities, who were aware of their itinerary, route, and humanitarian mission.”
Israel said the deaths were “a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non-combatants.”
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza began on Oct. 7 when Hamas militants crossed into Israel and killed 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians.
“In a phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said the situation was unacceptable, according to a readout of the call provided by the White House.”
STOP interfering with other nations situations that YOU and your political masters feel are unacceptable and START trying to resolve the destructive situations that YOU the corrupt sock-puppet president Joe Beijing OBiden and this treasonous Democrat Party have deliberately created, orchestrate and fabricated here is the U.S..
i.e. The destruction of the U.S. energy independence and importing and supporting 10 MILLION homeless, jobless, disease infected illegal immigrants at the cost to the taxpayers 25 BILLION each and every month.
“Cease fire Immediately lest it effect my chances to get re-elected, then AFTER the election do whatever you please.”,,,,,,,is one of the few Transparencies that even a blind man could see through. When those bombed out Gaza cities begin to look like Democrat run American cities it really does put Joe and his entire party into a bad unelectable light.
AND You can bet those DEMANDING HE DO THIS, WILL CARE massively if he goes back on his word.
democrat President, Joe Biden, backed ISRAEL, ” WITH FREINDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ENEMYS.”
Joey Adams
bb should tell obama jr to shove it up the democrats bunghole.
the left hates israel dont be fooled remeber when bb came to washington and obama treated him like dog ####.
let israel fight this war there way and give them what they need to accomplish total victory!
Sorry, but with Joe’s head and the media’s sock puppet fist aleady up the Democrat’s Bunghole there is not much room left for anything curative.
He can’t.. BIDEN is too WEAK.
The strategy here is curious. Obviously, the Israel stance is a political ploy by senile Joe’s puppet masters, but I don’t know that there are enough Hamas sympathizers in the electorate to justify pis-ing off the majority of voters who would side with Israel. The radical anti-Israel numbnuts are going to vote democrat no matter what. On the other hand I would think Biden’s position on this would influence at least some of the traditional democrat Jewish vote to abandon the radical left.???
THEY DON’T care about the rest of us.. They just wanna appease their muslim voter base.
It is fairly obvious that the Democrat handlers aren’t worried about the election in November. Every poll in the world shows them getting completely hosed. So why don’t they care? It’s possible they are planning to cheat on such a massive level that they actually “win” – although, given how much we have learned about the cheating in 2020, that would be difficult. The second possibility is that they will declare martial law (another pandemic? civil unrest?) and simply call off the elections. Either way, Americans better get on their knees and start praying for God’s mercy on this country before it’s too late.
The pressure needs to be put on Hamass to stop fighting. Why does Bidet basically want Israel to surrender? The war ends instantly if Hamas stops fighting. I don’t see Biteme putting any pressure on Russia for a ceasefire in that area. Total hypocrisy
“He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,”
That’s not actually a “need”. It’s more akin to a desire within a small circle.
“He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”
It should be determined by the well documented past actions of the Arabs in Judea and their vision of a future with NO JEWS.
Apparently, the Biden administration is unaware of the definition of war. In a war, the enemy is killed, bombed out, and starved until they surrender. That includes so-called “innocents,” although, if you watch videos of Palestinian school-children being taught to hate, stab, and shoot Israelis, you would have to agree that there aren’t many “innocents” in Palestine.
In war, you don’t give aid and comfort to the enemy – that is called “treason.” The Biden administration should be well acquainted with treason, as it is their primary, daily activity.
