The US president won't take chances upsetting the Washington lobby, a security adviser informed Project Veritas.
U.S. President Joe Biden is under pressure from progressives in the Democratic Party to more forcefully condemn Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, but the National Security Council says he won't do so unless he wins a second term. spoke to Project Veritas.
Stalin Waters, a policy adviser at the National Security Council, told an undercover reporter for Project Veritas, a conservative publication known for its hidden camera operations, that Biden's position on Israel was the result of careful "political calculations." Told. Waters said in a video released Tuesday that Biden and his aides, on the other hand, are trying to reassure progressive voters by "lying and bombing all our children without facing serious consequences." "We need to tell Israel that we are not going to continue killing them," he said. But if Biden does this, he faces a smear campaign that will anger the "huge and powerful Jewish influence in Republican and Democratic politics" and cost him the presidential election next November. Mr. Waters continued. “If Biden wins again, he might say no more bluntly,” Waters said. “[But] this is a second-term decision.”
Mr. Biden's position on Israel now seems to be changing daily, with him telling a crowd of university students on Sunday that he supports an "immediate ceasefire to stop the fighting" in the Gaza Strip, and speaking to reporters on Monday. ``We support it,'' he said. Israel must destroy (Hamas leader Yahya) Sinwar and the remaining Hamas executioners. ”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that Israel can only destroy Hamas by invading the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians are currently seeking refuge.

But while the White House froze bomb shipments to Israel in late April, Biden approved another billion-dollar arms sale, including tank ammunition and mortar shells, to the Jewish state just a few years ago days after committing to suspend future shipments.
Israel has carried out airstrikes on Rafah over the past two weeks and has also launched limited ground operations in eastern parts of the city. Netanyahu rejected Biden's threat to deactivate military assistance, saying that Israel "would fight our nails", if necessary.
Despite the Netanyahu accountant, the Prime Minister of the Military Account established plans for a major attack in Rafa and chose a more limited approach that minimizes victims of the civilian population, the Washington Post said on Monday. Israeli sources talked to Fasting and stated that this approach was chosen to avoid our evil.
The day before the Waters was announced, the US Department of State representatives told Politico that Secretary of the United States Brinken had ordered employees to stop the media information on secret discussions related to Israel Hama conflicts. 。
