In a bombshell update, President Joe Biden, along with his trusty sidekick National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, made it crystal clear where they stand on Israel’s planned operation in Rafah. Despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s determination to carry on with the operation, Biden and Sullivan are putting their foot down and taking a firm stance against it. Sullivan even hinted that the Biden administration might consider cutting off aid to Israel, a move that many far-left, anti-Israel Democrats have been clamoring for.

Gather ’round, folks, as your favorite White House press team members, Karine Jean-Pierre and Jake Sullivan, take the stage and serve up some spicy remarks. Jean-Pierre suggested there are “alternative ways” for Israel to handle Hamas instead of the planned operation in Rafah, which unsurprisingly ruffled some feathers. Meanwhile, Sullivan doubled down on this sentiment, emphasizing that the United States believes there are better ways to deal with Hamas than launching a full-blown operation in Rafah. Way to go, Team Biden, for sticking it to Israel and standing up for what you believe in!
Sullivan didn’t stop there, though. When asked about the potential consequences for Israel if they move forward with the operation, Sullivan skillfully dodged the question, refusing to comment on “hypotheticals.” Smooth move, Sullivan. He also hinted that the U.S. might reconsider its support for Israel if their policies don’t align with what Team Biden thinks is best. It’s like a game of political chess, and Team Biden is making some bold moves!
But wait, there’s more! Another reporter grilled Sullivan about potentially imposing sanctions and restrictions on Israel, a move that France and Turkey, both with their own beef against Israel, have already made. Sullivan hinted that the U.S. could follow suit if Israel doesn’t shape up and start making “specific, concrete, measurable steps” to ease the suffering of Gazans. It’s like an ultimatum, and Team Biden is not messing around!
As if that wasn’t enough, President Joe Biden himself had a sit-down with Univision and didn’t hold back. He blasted Netanyahu’s plans for the Rafah operation, calling it “a mistake” and demanding a ceasefire for not just six, but potentially eight weeks. Wow, bold words coming from the leader of the free world. Not to mention, he didn’t even mention Hamas releasing the hostages as part of the ceasefire. Oh, Joe, always keeping us on our toes!
Team Biden is making it clear where they stand on Israel’s planned operation in Rafah. They are not afraid to ruffle some feathers, hint at cutting off aid, and lay down ultimatums. It’s like a political drama, and Team Biden is running the show!
