Biden still 'staunch supporter' of Israel despite indiscriminate Gaza bombing: Washington Post

An article published by an American newspaper says the administration of US President Joe Biden has provided Israel “unfettered support,” even though American officials confirmed that the regime is indiscriminately bombing Gaza.

According to an article published by the Washington Post on Monday, top US officials “privately told a small group assembled at the White House what they would not say in public: ‘Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets’.”

The group, that included top foreign policy officials from the Biden administration and previous ones, made the remarks on October 27, three weeks into Israel’s aggression on Gaza.

They also discussed “the apparent lack of an Israeli plan for defeating Hamas despite repeated US prodding,” the Washington Post cited three people familiar with the private exchange who spoke on the condition of anonymity, as saying.

“We never had a clear sense that the Israelis had a definable and achievable military objective,” said one of those familiar with the private exchange. “From the very beginning, there’s been a sense of us not knowing how the Israelis were going to do what they said they were going to do.”

“Publicly, however, the Biden administration was providing Israel unfettered support” in the wake of the October 7 Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, according to the article.

On the same day as the private exchange, the article said, White House spokesman John Kirby also stressed that Washington was imposing no “red lines” on Israel’s offensive.

Hamas also criticized the international community and the United Nations for inaction.

The article, citing 20 administration officials and outside advisers, noted that the war threatens Biden’s reelection. Biden’s allies privately acknowledge that it “has done him significant damage domestically and globally and could easily become his biggest foreign policy cataclysm.”

Israel waged its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 31,819 Palestinians and injured 73,792 others.

The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

The United Nations says children in Gaza have begun dying of hunger amid the risk of a severe famine.
