President Joe Biden threatened to cut U.S. support for Israel in a private call with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week after Israel killed multiple top terrorists in the region.
The call, which included Vice President Kamala Harris, came after Israel killed Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s top military commander, on Tuesday and is believed to be behind the Wednesday killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of Hamas. Shukr was targeted after Hezbollah murdered 12 children inside Israel over the weekend and Haniyeh was targeted in response to the October 7 attacks.
Axios reported that Biden and his aides were furious after Israel carried out the strikes and demanded that Netanyahu move toward a hostage deal with Hamas. The Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly blamed Israel for not securing a hostage deal with Hamas even though it is Hamas that has repeatedly led negotiators along and backed out of talks.
The report said that Biden warned Netanyahu “that he expects no more escalation from the Israeli side,” even though Israel was protecting itself against those who are responsible for killing large numbers of Israelis.
“Biden also warned Netanyahu that if he escalates again, he shouldn’t count on the U.S. to bail him out,” the report added.
Iran is furious after Israel embarrassed the Islamic regime, which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, by killing Haniyeh as he stayed as a guest at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility by using a bomb that was placed two months ago.
Iran has vowed to retaliate against Israel for the attack and Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon, has vowed revenge for the killing of Shukr.
The IRGC is disseminating propaganda suggesting that Prime Minister Netanyahu, Mossad Director David Barnea, and others will be targeted for assassination. The image included the message: “there is no safe place for you.”

The Houthis, an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Yemen, have vowed revenge for the killing of Haniyeh and Iranian-backed terrorist groups in Iraq have resumed attacks against U.S. forces in the region.
U.S. officials believe that an attack from Iran and its terrorist proxy groups on Israel is imminent and could happen anytime in the next several days, according to reports from Israeli media.
