“Last night, we received a reminder of what a real leader looks like, who cares for Israel’s future and not his own. Thank you President Biden,” said Shaul Meridor, the former head of the Finance Ministry’s budget department, referring to the US president’s speech on Friday in which he outlined Israel’s proposal for a deal leading to a ceasefire and release of hostages, urged the Israeli government to stand behind it and called on Hamas to accept it.

    Slightly out of date now since Israel has, apparently, accepted the deal Biden’s administration came up with. They’re bitching about it, but they say they have accepted it.

        It will be interesting to see whether or not this gives Biden a boost in the polls. It may be too late for that, but I hope not.

          It definitely will. Though many have given up on him already, at least he will be relieved of not being able to go anywhere without Genocide Joe chants.

          In hindsight we can now confidently say that Biden should have stopped this far earlier.

          Now if Biden actually forced a solution such as the two state one the Palestinians are asking for he can definitely get voters back.

          Also last time I checked Benzion Mileikowski still rejects a permanent ceasefire until Hamas is “eradicated”
