Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a “red line.”
Without naming them, Netanyahu claimed he had the tacit support of several Arab leaders for driving ahead with the onslaught against Hamas.
Israel’s prime minister also doubled down on his rejection of thepossibility of a Palestinian state — a topic that pits Israel against most of the rest of the world.
"The positions that I espouse are supported by the overwhelming majority of Israelis who say to you after October 7: ‘We don’t want to see a Palestinian state,’” he said.

Cut the bastard off completely
This isn’t the time for a bluff. If Biden wants to stop this genocide before it moves into its final, most bloody phase, he needs to cut Israel off. No more money. No more weapons.
The people who control our government would never allow that.
“Asked whether an Israeli invasion of Rafah would be a red line for him with Netanyahu, Biden said: “It is a red line but I’m never going to leave Israel. The defense of Israel is still critical. So there’s no red line (in which) I’m going to cut off all weapons so they don’t have the Iron Dome to protect them.””
:/
Fucking loser.
I am pretty sure that Netanyahu would be using tactical nukes if they weren’t worried about settling that land themselves. Not shocking he wants to keep genociding.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a “red line.”
Amid signs of increasing frustration with Netanyahu, the U.S. president told MSNBC on Saturday that he opposed an escalation of the conflict into Rafah, and that he could not accept “30,000 more Palestinians dead.”
Relief organizations have warned that an attack on Rafah on the border with Egypt — now a refuge for about half of Gaza’s 2.3 million population — would result in widespread civilian casualties.
United Nations organizations have also warned of an imminent famine, with the first deaths from starvation already recorded, prompting the European Union to open a sea corridor to deliver aid from Cyprus.
Israeli authorities have been criticized for blocking the delivery of humanitarian assistance by land, but Netanyahu claimed the sea convoy as his idea in the interview, and denied people were starving.
Even in the case of what he described as a change of Palestinian “leadership” and “culture,” Netanyahu still insisted Israel should have full security control of all Arab territory west of the River Jordan.

bidens “red line” is a PR stunt and nothing more. he could be
feelingDOING so much more to stop this but instead he’s still funding them while trying to appear as good guy biden to the American populationEDIT I HATE AUTOCORRECT I MEANT DOING NOT FEELING
You can turn off auto correct btw
I should
But doesn’t it make you feel good that Biden pretends to care about the babies being killed with his bombs? Trump doesn’t pretend to care at all.
After four years of Trump I can definitely say lip service toward being good is better than the naked truth of being evil.
Shit on the cupcake and say it’s frosting
At least he cares enough to gaslight me 🥰
People need to be less concerned about what Trump would do over there and more concerned about what his plans are for here.
Invade Mexico?
Internment camps?
Mass arrests of enemies list?
I meant to type doing not feeling 🤦🤦🤦🤦 sorry holy sht that makes my comment so stupid
