Biden BABBLES as Bibi heads for America | JLMinute

Decades of trying and failing to create a Palestinian state have taught President Biden nothing. This week, he took the opportunity to push the idea again on Prime Minister Netanyahu as if October 7th never happened. The PM will soon visit the US to address Congress and promote his vision for a post-war Gaza. Whether or not he meets with former President Trump remains to be seen.

Also, targeting Mohammed Deif; bringing the end of Hamas; IDF strategy; the future of the Abraham Accords; Abbas and the PA edging in; and the attempted targeting of Trump.

Taking Out the Trash

Israel over the weekend targeted Mohammad Deif, the head of Hamas’ military wing, in an Air Force attack. While Deif’s fate remains unknown, Israel did eliminate terrorist Rafa Salama, Hamas’ top commander in Khan Yunis. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says taking out the heads of Hamas is key towards dismantling the terrorist organization’s capabilities, while it also serves as a psychological win, as those who support Hamas should know, the group’s days are numbered.

A pause in IDF operations in Gaza has angered portions of the Israeli public and government ministers after 11 soldiers were killed over the weekend.

Hostage Rescue Offers Hope

In a military operation many are comparing to the “Raid on Entebbe,” the IDF, counter terrorism police, and the Israel Security Agency, rescued four Israeli hostages from the clutches of Hamas in Gaza. All were being held in “civilian” homes in central Gaza. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the operation which lifted the spirits of a nation. Unfortunately, it was with mixed emotions as a member of the elite Yamam force, which led the raid, Commander Arnon Zamora, HY”D, was killed during the hostage extraction.

Biden Plan Leaves Hamas Afloat

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the three-staged ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hamas, laid out by U.S. president Joe Biden. Hasten says that bottom line, the plan would leave the Hamas terrorist organization afloat, and in control of Gaza. He says that Israel must not accept any type of agreement that does not meet Israel’s three conditions towards ending the war: the removal of Hamas from power, the return of the hostages, and the disarming of Gaza, so that it no longer poses a threat to the Jewish State.

ICJ Side with Hamas Evil

Even though the UN’s International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an ambiguous ruling in regard to Israel’s military campaign in Rafah, the vote was applauded by Hamas, which says it all. Nevertheless, Israel’s government insists that no force in the world will prevent the IDF from defeating Hamas’ final four battalions in Rafah, and finishing off that terrorist organization. This story and all the latest news on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Turning a Blind Eye to Terror Tunnels

The IDF this week revealed that troops discovered at least 50 tunnels leading from Egypt into Rafah. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that obviously the Egyptians knew that Hamas was importing weapons, literally under their noses, but failed to act. At the same time Egypt has reinforced their above ground border, not letting Gazans flee into their country. Nevertheless, the anti-Israel haters ignore Egypt (and Hamas) and blame the Jewish State for everything going on in Gaza.
