Harris Should Break With Biden Over Israel (Netanyahu)
Put US arms shipments on the table (see update at end)
Netanyahu’s defense minister said this week that hostage negotiations have ceased, essentially verifying that Bibi Netanyahu has no interest in finding a way to defuse his expanding war in the Middle East. Despite the heroic efforts of President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken, no progress has been made for nearly a year.
Every time it looked like we were closer to an agreement, Netanyahu moved the goal lines and escalated his campaign to essentially wipe out Palestine as a nation. He has personal reasons to do this as he may face serious corruption charges if he loses his political cover as leader of Israel.
Biden has admirably been a staunch supporter of Israel’s right to exist for his entire life. But his loyalty has been tested since the October Seventh Hamas terrorist attack that killed hundreds of innocent civilians and resulted in hundreds of hostages being taken, including several American citizens.
This has put Kamala Harris in a very difficult position politically as she is still the sitting Vice President in the Biden administration. Netanyahu’s extreme campaign of death and destruction seems unending as it extends into Lebanon and Iran with no end in sight.
