Biden Warns Netanyahu That American Aid Is Coming To An End If He Doesn't Stop!

Boxed in a corner.

All talk.

For those who said Donald J. Trump never starts wars, you might want to revisit his role in the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and his call to derail the border bill Congress is working on. He is calling for white nationalists to go to Eagle Pass, Texas to confront U.S. Border Patrol agents. He also called for armed resistance if he is convicted of crimes.

Since Oct. 18, 2023, President Joe Biden sealed his fate with young voters, Muslims and Arab Americans. Since he said that the Israeli airstrike on Gaza's al Shifa's hospital was "the other team", Arab Americans vow they'll never support him again. The resistance to Israeli occupation was not the attack on Oct. 7, 2023. The conflict in Jenin was in July 2023. In Feb. 2023, Benjamin Netanyahu pushed Israeli plan to completely wipe Palestinians out of the Middle East. At the United Nations, Netanyahu showed a map of Israel without Gaza or the West Bank. Israel continues to build settlements. AIPAC has financed millions in an attempt to oust Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). The lobbying group has invested in backing the Republicans who refused to certify Biden as the president.

When President Joe Biden's 2024 campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez went to Michigan to meet with several Arab American leaders, they declined the invite.

They said to her that they're done with him. They will not support his bid for 2024.

Now Biden is warning Netanyahu that his patience is wearing thin and the president is mulling suspension of military aid and financial aid to Israel. Netanyahu brushed him off and has secretly talked to Trump.

Israel struck a UNRWA building killing hundreds. The International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must ensure civilians are not killed mercilessly. Israel ignores it. Israel puts out a propaganda piece claiming that UN workers praised the Oct. 7th attack and now the U.S., Australia, Great Britain, Japan, the European Union and Canada pulled funding to the UNRWA.

Biden's old school policy is not winning over voters. So now he is getting desperate.

The Biden administration is discussing using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to convince the government of Netanyahu to heed long-standing U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip, according to three current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.

At the direction of the White House, the Pentagon has been reviewing what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage, said the sources. They said no decisions have been made.

The sources said Israeli officials continue to ask the administration for more weapons, including large aerial bombs, ammunition and air defenses.

Netanyahu refuses to end the war.

After weeks of private administration requests produced fewer results than the White House wants, the sources said, the U.S. is considering slowing or pausing the deliveries in the hope that doing so will prod the Israelis to take action, such as opening humanitarian corridors to provide more aid to Palestinian civilians.

Among the weaponry the U.S. has discussed using as leverage are 155 mm artillery rounds and joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs), which are guidance kits that convert dumb bombs into precision-guided munitions, the officials said. The officials said the administration is likely to continue to provide other conversion kits that make Israeli munitions more precise.

Officials said they are not likely to slow the delivery of air defenses, though the idea was considered, as well as other systems that can defend Israeli civilians and infrastructure from attack. The administration is focused on offensive military equipment in its review of what it could possibly withhold or delay.

Administration officials have also discussed offering the Israeli government more of the weaponry it has requested as an incentive to take some steps that the U.S. has requested, officials said.

The effort comes after weeks of Biden and his national security team failing to convince Netanyahu and other Israeli officials to dramatically change tactics in Gaza and to take more steps to minimize civilian casualties, officials said. It marks a potential shift in Biden’s approach by going beyond rhetorical pressure, largely behind the scenes, and to making tangible policy changes aimed at getting Israel to act.

Houthis vow revenge after American airstrikes killed several.

Some Democrats in Congress have been urging the administration to do more to pressure Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

A spokesperson for the National Security Council defended the administration’s stance toward the conflict so far. “As the president has made clear, he believes that the approach he has pursued has been more effective,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Israel has a right and obligation to defend themselves against the threat of Hamas, while abiding by international humanitarian law and protecting civilian lives, and we remain committed to support Israel in its fight against Hamas.”

After the publication of this story, the spokesperson added, “We have done so since Oct 7, and will continue to. There has not been a change in our policy.”

The sources said senior Biden administration officials continue to be frustrated that Israel has often disregarded their calls for taking more care to minimize harm to Palestinian civilians, citing the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Khan Younis as the most recent example. That frustration recently escalated inside the Pentagon as well, while Biden and other White House officials have long been privately exasperated with Netanyahu’s handling of the war.

Biden has said for weeks that he’s been doing all he can to get Israel to change its military tactics.

“I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza,” Biden said on Jan. 8 when confronted by protesters calling for a cease-fire. “I’ve been using all that I can to do that.”

White House officials argue that Biden has had some success, though they concede that Israeli government officials still have not gone as far as the president has wanted.

American Muslims and Arab Americans sour on Democrats.

A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly, expressed frustration with Israeli officials. “There’s a lot more that needs to be done and they need to be more careful about,” the official said.

Three U.S. troops were killed and 25 were injured following a drone attack on a base in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border, according to United States Central Command.

These are the first U.S. fatalities in months of strikes by Iranian-backed militant groups since the Israel-Hamas war started on Oct. 7. The troops have not been identified pending notification of next of kin.

In a statement, Biden said the troops were killed by “radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq,” adding that “we are still gathering the facts of this attack.”

So this latest round of issues has not changed the minds. The Arab Americans who voted for Biden see the hardline stance to Israel as betrayal. He refuses to acknowledge the 30,000 lives lost. He continues to waffle statements. He refuses to acknowledges Israeli forces killed 20 Americans. Even Democrats like former House Speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claim the Russians are behind the pro Palestinian protests.

Michigan was crucial to helping Biden win the presidency. He can only lose two states.

The electoral college declares if the nominee earns 270 electoral votes, the nominee will be the president-elect. The popular vote only determines how many Americans voted.

Even if a candidate had more votes than the other, the nominee must have 270 to be elected the President of the United States. If Biden does win, his second term begins. Biden will technically finish his first term through the lame duck session, but since he won, by default his second term begins. Biden will be barred from serving a third term.

If former president Donald J. Trump or Nikki Haley win the nomination and earn the 270 electoral votes, one will start as the 47th President of the United States. Trump will be barred from serving another term. Haley will be eligible for a second term.

On Dec. 14, the electoral votes are declared. On Jan. 6, 2025, Congress holds a special session to certify the President-elect and Vice President-elect. Mind you, this time, security will be heighten once this begins since the 2021 incident. Trump was impeached for it but never was convicted. He is facing federal indictments because of it.

Technically on Jan. 20, 2025, Congress gathers at 12pm to begin a new presidential term.
