Biden Administration Turns on Israel at the UN

This week, the United States, under President Joe Biden, abstained from an anti-Israel UN Security Council Resolution, thus allowing it to pass. The resolution, calling on an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, failed to condemn Hamas and failed to include an Israeli hostage release as part of the ceasefire. The fact that Hamas celebrated the passage of the (non-binding) resolution, says it all. Josh Hasten discusses this story, and all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored.

U.S. Administration Trying to Overthrow Israeli Government?

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten shares that a senior Israeli official slammed a U.S. intelligence report claiming that the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu is in jeopardy. In other words, this self-fulfilling prophecy attempt is another sign that the Biden Administration wants Netanyhu and his right-wing government out of power. At the same time, it was reported that Biden and company are considering withholding U.S. military aid should Israel try to finish off Hamas in the southern Gaza town of Rafah. Israel has made clear that it must destroy the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah in order to achieve victory over the terrorist organization.

U.S. Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution

The United States on Tuesday vetoed an Algerian-sponsored U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that the Biden administration is playing both sides of the fence. The veto is appreciated, but at the same time the U.S. continues to call for the establishment of a P.A. state which would be a win for Hamas, while also voicing concern over a necessary military operation in Rafah. Israel insists that it will continue full steam ahead until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are brought home.

Two-State Insanity

As Israel continues to fight against Hamas terrorists in Gaza, the Biden Administration, the EU, and the UN, are obsessively focused on the “day after” the war, which they insist would include the establishment of a PA state. After more than 30 years of failed Oslo-based policies, which have only resulted in terrorism, war, and the spilling of Jewish blood, a good portion of the world is talking about creating a PA state by force, regardless of whether Israel agrees to it or not. Somehow, they argue, such a move will lead to peace and security. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that a two-state solution would be an existential threat to the State of Israel, and that our leadership must stay strong in the face of pressure and not go along with the insanity.
