Democrat President Joe Biden has said that Israel has an “ironclad” right to exist as an independent state, a departure from his recent attempts to pressure Israel into a “ceasefire” with Hamas.
Biden made the declaration in a statement to mark the Jewish Passover celebration,
“This holiday reminds us of a profound and powerful truth: that even in the face of persecution if we hold on to faith, we shall endure and overcome,” Biden wrote.
“We can never forget the horror of Hamas’ despicable atrocities.”
“My commitment to the safety of the Jewish people, the security of Israel, and its right to exist as an independent Jewish state is ironclad,” he continued.
The statement comes as Biden is under increasing pressure from the radical Left wing of the Democrats to end support for Israel.
The issue could see Biden and the Democrats lose support from young “progressive” voters ahead of the critical November elections.
However, Biden still wants Israel to try for a “ceasefire” with Hamas in exchange for the release of the remaining 100 hostages held by the terrorists.
In other words, he’s trying to appease the leftist “Squad” and other pro-Hamas Democrats who have been pressuring him to stop supporting Israel and force a “ceasefire.”
Meanwhile, Biden is still giving lip service to supporting Israel.
“My Administration is working around the clock to free the hostages, and we will not rest until we bring them home,” Biden said.
“We will continue to work toward a two-state solution that provides equal security, prosperity, and enduring peace for Israelis and Palestinians.”
Despite Biden’s efforts, a “ceasefire” does not seem likely any time soon.
In addition, the Israeli military is reported to be preparing to invade Rafah, where the hostages are likely being held.
Rafah is also where most of the remaining high-level Hamas officials are holing up.
The message also comes as Iran tried last week to attack Israel by firing 350 rockets at Israel.
The assault came after Israel was accused of bombing the Iranian Embassy in Syria, killing seven officials there.
Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack in Syria, however.
In essence, the entire Middle East is out to destroy Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel’s main ally America is not providing much strength.
Biden did give some talking points about anti-Semitism, but the White House is doing nothing to stop it on college campuses like Columbia University.
Columbia had to go to virtual classes this week because of threats against Jewish students.
“The ancient story of persecution against Jews in the Haggadah also reminds us that we must speak out against the alarming surge of Antisemitism — in our schools, communities, and online,” he said.
“Silence is complicity.”
