The Biden administration keeps talking about the urgent need for Israel to have a post-war plan for Gaza. What that really means is that it wants the PLO to take over Gaza. Netanyahu has opposed that for now. The Palestinian Authority is run by Fatah, the body behind the PLO, and is just another Islamic terrorist group. And parts of it claimed to have taken part in the Oct 7 massacres. But none of that is stopping the Biden administration from its obsession.
The thinking is that if the Palestinian Authority takes over Gaza, it can force negotiations on a Two-State Solution and finally bring peace by empowering terrorists. A policy that has brought nothing but terror for 30 years.
And now that Israel’s government is in the way, it’s time to get it out of the way.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of the Palestinian Authority returning to the Gaza Strip is undermining US efforts to rally like-minded Arab countries around a strategy for stabilizing the coastal enclave after the Israel-Hamas war, an administration official and two senior Arab diplomats told The Times of Israel.
Netanyahu’s refusal to address who will govern Gaza if Israel succeeds in toppling Hamas, along with the premier’s mixed messaging regarding whether the Israeli military will re-occupy the Strip, have pushed away Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The Biden administration believes the backing of those countries will be needed to help rehabilitate and manage the Strip for an interim period after the war, the three officials explained.
This is nonsense.
No Arab Muslim country would publicly back Israel bombing Sunni Muslims. For that matter the Palestinian Authority wouldn’t express support for it either. Not even if Netanyahu swore on a stack of bibles that Abbas would get to rule Gaza. Nor will those countries do anything to run Gaza beyond providing aid and some meaningless formalities.
Labor could be in power Israel and that would not change.
Once again, Israel is being blamed for Arab Muslim intransigence Some of which is motivated by their realistic assessments of their own people.
And then it’s time for a coup.
Sensing that Netanyahu is being hamstrung by his far-right coalition allies, the US has begun to ask about the possibility of a more moderate government being shuffled in, according to a former official.
To ask about? What a nice way of pushing regime change in exchange for political support.
“The diplomatic umbrella the US and other Western countries are providing Israel to continue operating in Gaza constricts, as civilian casualties mount,” a Biden administration official said on condition of anonymity. “Refusal to cooperate with — and even inhibiting — [our] efforts constrict that umbrella even more.”
Again, a fancy way of describing threatening to withdraw support from Israel unless Netanyahu rejects the results of a democratic election and forms a coalition with leftists with the aim of appeasing terrorists.
An Arab ambassador, speaking on condition of anonymity, argued that Netanyahu’s dismissal of proposals to return the relatively moderate PA to the Gaza Strip would lead to the creation of a vacuum in Gaza that would be filled with forces no less radical than Hamas, warning that the region would be further destabilized.
The PA is no less radical than Hamas. PA’s Abbas has said so himself. Putting the same terrorists in charge of parts of the West Bank, a terror spot, is going to stabilize Gaza how?
A second Arab official, a senior diplomat, appeared to link Netanyahu’s stance to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s recent rejection of a proposal by CIA director William Burns that Cairo help manage security in Gaza for an interim period after the war
Why would Egypt want to manage a terror zone? And why would Israel want an enemy nation, which not too long ago elected a Muslim Brotherhood government, the parent organization, of Hamas to have any role in Gaza?
“In addition to being an armed resistance group, Hamas is an idea that cannot be defeated only with a military,” said the diplomat. “If non-violent alternatives continue to be undermined, Israel will have accomplished nothing in this war.”
The Oslo Accords was supposed to be a non-violent alternative. Setting up the Palestinian Authority was a non-violent alternative. The only result was worse and more extreme violence.
Recognizing that the administration’s hands are tied as long as Netanyahu’s coalition remains, Biden officials have again begun to inquire into whether a more moderate government could be formed in Jerusalem, a former US official familiar with the matter said.
They pointed to meetings top Biden aides have held with war cabinet minister Benny Gantz, a top political rival to Netanyahu, as well as opposition chairman Yair Lapid and fellow former prime minister Naftali Bennett.
“They’re increasingly running into dead-ends with this government, and their entire regional agenda is on the line,” they added.
What agenda? All the Biden administration needs to do is allow Israel to defeat Hamas. There’s no regional agenda here. Nor will there ever be one.
The Arab terrorist groups have been walking out of the Matryoshka mother ship for too many decades to not be recognized as the nesting dolls that they are. Any one that either makes a deal with or is defeated by Israel can be replaced by another to start over. Biden has been around for too many decades with his hand out to not be recognized as the man who would have lost any war America has ever won.
the real problem is the Islamic religion itself.
it’s not a religion, it’s a 7th century misogynistic death cult!
Where is the UN,s WCC when their needed?
There are members of the Likud who are plotting to oust Bibi, per Arutz Sheva.
And, sure, Gantz and Lapid would love to form the next government so they can white wash the feet of their own histrionics on the morale and behavior of certain elements of Israeli intelligence–such as Unit 8200 (signals intelligence) , which was acting like fools during the court reform dust-up.
Also, the EU leaders and leftist press in Israel seem more interested in deposing Netanyahu than eliminating Hamas.
Netanyahu Is such an historic figure ..certainly a rare breed no one can understand the pressure he must be under and what he knows that’s going on behind the scenes. We can only hope and pray that he completes this task before the CIA and other governments undefined him.
He’s a tough as nails Looks no worse for wear again a real individual a leader for his time. as the forces are swirling around.him., it will take a super man to curtail the Islamic radical march against Western civilization.
Fortunately for all parties involved, Biden’s impact on foreign inner-nation policy is about as effectual as peeing on a five alarm fire because, unlike American MSM, the rest of the world sees him as the tottering old fool that he is.
The only countries the administration has had an impact on are those of the South American variety, Afghanistan and Ukraine…and all to the detriment of the US.
He maybe but the one who’s behind him is still Alzheimer’s free and busy as hell: obas/ turd…
And the most beautiful sound he ever heard was the Muslim call to prayer and the United States is the largest Muslim nation etc etc etc
He could provide the Israeli opposition parties with dominion voting machines, they worked for him.
Isreal should take Gaza for itself and add a few more refugees for the UN to look after.
That is the solution. No other.
Yeah! If they were human beings, that would be something, but since they’re not, fuck’em!
And who was it that declared that islam would exist in perpetual emnity with the balance of human kind?
This isn’t a an unanswerable riddle. There was an historic context and specific event early in Islam’s formation.
Your sloth and ignorance define you.
Why does all my commentary require “moderation”?
Why do all of my comments require moderation? No matter what words I use?!?!?!!
No mick, they’re human beings, and responsible for what they did. That IS something, much worse because they are humans. Eff ’em!
Ah yes….more “people familiar with the matter”, denying Torah, the God of all creation, the Jewish people, the land of Israel, the Talmudic compendium of Jewish law that comprises multi-view, multi-generational discussion of every moral facet of human existence.
Israel’s current, freely elected government is unabashedly pro-Torah, pro-God, etc. That is not extreme. It just doesn’t fit into the current American rabidly jihadi supportive administration.
By the way -What’s happened to the calls for democracy? All we hear now is “justice”. Why? Because equality between two sides requires democracy. But justice is branding one side wrong and one side right; so now there’s only one side, which requires the elimination of the other side.
So you can see where this “democratic” two state solution is really going- it’s slick packaging designed to slide you into the “justice=elimination of Israel” final solution.
So – I dare to ask:
What’s happened to the ‘Judeo-Christian ethic‘ in America? Where’s the fierce, explosive and united 70% of Americans’ expression and practical, effective, across the board application of that ethic in defiance of, and yes, battle against the fierce, explosive and united emergence of this Hamas-loving army, that, even though it surely intends to replace its flags with guns, managed to kill Paul Kessler with a megaphone?
Is this only a theory when truly tested?
Has America been only a theory, when truly tested?
Judaeo Christian ethic in America? Jewish media and banker billionaires subverted it and undermined it for 60 years. And, yes, I support Israel 100% in this war.
Yes, Billionaire Jews with big hooked noses who grind Goyim children into flour for Holy Day matzah balls.
I see you’re right on top of them, citizen!
Oy Oy Oy my kingdom for a report or block button! You’re in the wrong site in the wrong thread with your anti-Semitic conspiracy theories straight off the underbelly of the internet and the bowels of Hamas.
You cannot prove that I control banks and media. If I do why am I not typing up NYT headlines instead of commenting here and why am I not sitting on a pile of money?
So the Biden maladministration is trying to overthrow the government of a friendly, democratic, popularly elected government of a U.S. ally while it is in the midst of a war launched by its genocidal anti-Semitic neighbors. With friends like these…. Oh, BTW, the U.S. regime does have a regional agenda. It is to empower Iran in the lunatic belief that it is a force for stability and a counterweight to the awful Sunni and Jewish states of the region.
They already overthrew a domestic administration.
Wasn’t that the plan all along? And the intelligence information that never was/never got passed on?
Everyday Thomas Friedman writes columns shaping the public mindset to blame a lack of the peace on Netanyahu for under appeasement. These delusional Kapos are almost as big an enemy to the survival of the Jewish people as Hamas.
“Not even if Netanyahu swore on a stack of bibles that Abbas would get to rule Gaza.”
Maybe that should be “a stack of Korans”? (Not that Netanyahu believes in either, of course.)
Time for another ‘color revolution’ … Victoria Nuland enters stage right… and the madness ramps up.
Biden & crew are like a slower-acting Hamas.
It’s a unity government. This is just the Biden Administration taking advantage of the situation to get what they already wanted.
