In the end, Biden did what I feared he would do and then some. He announced the US is providing $100 million in “humanitarian aid to Gaza and the West Bank.” This is all money to Hamas. He said that if Hamas seizes the supplies he coerced Israel o permit to enter Gaza, then “they will prove once again” that they don’t care about the Palestinians. Why do they have to prove the obvious? Moreover, providing them with aid directly or indirectly is illegal under US and international law. On board Air Force One Biden was asked if he managed to prevent Israel from invading Gaza. He said it is a discussion taking place between military officials on both sides. The implication was clear: he is pressuring Israel not to take over Gaza, and instead treat the war as another round of a fight that will retain Hamas in power and capable of rebuilding (with US, UN, EU, and Iranian assistance and arms). Biden also gave us a lecture on morality. It’s important to note that Biden was completely humiliated by the Arabs. In Arab culture, if a man comes to your tent, you have to provide him with hospitality even if you hate him. Sisi, King Abdullah and Mahmoud Abbas refused to meet with Biden. Biden responded by hectoring Israel and ensuring the resupply of Hamas. https://youtube.com/watch?v=jd0ra6-OnJ0
