Staff Reports
President Joe Biden once again showed a lack of leadership by putting the responsibility for the ceasefire in Gaza on Hamas, instead of rallying behind our close ally Israel. The president, who has been less than impressive in the international arena, has been preoccupied at Camp David while the world watches the violence unfold in the Middle East.
As if his incompetence in handling the situation wasn’t enough, recent polls show that Biden is facing a tough battle against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. It’s no surprise, considering Biden’s inability to take charge and make decisive decisions when it matters most. The Democratic base is losing faith in him as he struggles to handle the crisis in Israel and Gaza.

Biden’s feeble attempt to shift the blame to Hamas is a clear sign of his weak leadership. By choosing to place the responsibility for the ceasefire on the terrorist organization, he is betraying our steadfast ally, Israel. The fact that he authorized shipments of humanitarian aid to Gaza only further demonstrates his lack of understanding of the situation. It’s as if he’s rewarding the aggressor while ignoring the plight of the innocent Israelis who are under constant threat from Hamas rockets.
To make matters worse, Biden’s relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been called into question. Instead of standing firmly by Israel, the president’s tepid response regarding his relationship with Netanyahu is a cause for concern. It’s clear that Biden’s wavering support for Israel is damaging our longstanding alliance with one of the few democratic nations in the region.
The American people deserve a leader who is unwavering in their support for our allies and who takes decisive action to protect our interests abroad. Unfortunately, President Biden has once again failed to rise to the occasion and has left the world questioning America’s commitment to its allies.
