Israel is supposed to be a FRIEND and ALLY of the United States. Why would President Biden order his Secretary of State to tell Israel...
Full Statement here: www.breitbart.com...
The country lacks “credit” to conduct the kind of military campaign necessary to defeat Hamas, saying that the Biden administration would not tolerate large-scale bombing over months in southern Gaza.
Does Israel need the United States' support so desperately, the country will do what we demand, even if its not how they wish to operate?

I see Netanyau in the same light as Hitler and Putin.

Hamas has used the exchange of prisoners for hostages as some sort of victory or vindication for their actions on October 7th.
They aren't bothered about how many people died to achieve that exchange.
I've read reports that Hamas resumed missile attacks literally as soon as the ceasefire ran out - I haven't had a chance to have a look at how reliable those reports are so I haven't linked any here and I certainly can't say for definite its true, but given the history it is a distinct possibility.
Hamas has definitely stated that it will resume attacks on Israel and has no intention of entering long term peace negotiations. They refuse to recognise Israel's right to exist and are still committed to eliminating the Israeli state and driving every single Jew out of the region.
Netanyahu may well be deemed incompetent and arrogant in ignoring intelligence reports that Hamas intended an attack like the one that occured on october 7th.
If its proven he deliberately ignored it in order to justify the response then he should be prosecuted, without a shadow of a doubt.
In light of the continued threat posed by Hamas I don't really see what options Israel have?
I'd love to see someone give a viable alternative because just the same as anyone with an ounce of humanity I think the ongoing killing and human suffering is truly sickening.
But Israel's priority has to be the safety and security of their own people.

The resumption of bombing Gaza is a tragedy.
The human element has left israel, as will all the support they used to have.
I see Netanyau in the same light as Hitler and Putin.
On what version of this does he think this will end well for Israel.
Especially now that there is a report that Israel was told more than once a year ago that Hamas was planning
exactly this type of terror act.
Netanyau dismissed it as unrealistic.
I havent got a link but its at least on NYT
Like Putin Netanyau Needs this war to survive.
Shame on US for backing him
