There goes Biden, about to Pressure Israel
By David Zukerman
Word that President Biden "supports a ceasefire" between Israel and the Israel-denying Hamas (May 17) indicates that the terrorist organization has read Biden right — that he will, eventually, pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu to halt the campaign to put a stop, once and for all, to aggression against the Jewish state by Hamas. That includes likely support by Biden for a U.N. Security Council resolution for a ceasefire demand, possibly with threats of sanctions and war crimes trials thrown in for anti-Israel measure.
Consider how a re-elected President Trump would have responded to the Hamas aggression. First, it is more likely than not that Hamas would never have thought to launch thousands of missiles against Israel — and over a private dispute over property rights in Jerusalem, no less — with President Trump in the Oval Office. Hamas likely knew that it would never find aid and comfort for restarting a military conflict with Israel with Mr. Trump the American president.
But should Hamas have been so rash as to attack Israel during a Trump presidential tenure, the message it would have gotten from the Trump White House would have been: "You started this round of combat; now deal with the consequences." At the U.N., if the cool-to-Israel international community drafted a ceasefire resolution, President Trump's U.N. representative would have quickly vetoed it.
Until the Trump presidency, the Middle East conflict remained on low boil due to the rush of the international community, with Washington's support, always to pull the Arab chestnuts out of the fire.
