On Monday, the Biden administration will once again undermine the government of Israel, as a vote will be taken on its resolution to the U.N. Security Council that would demand Israel immediately implement a ceasefire, just two days after the spectacular Israeli operation in which they rescued four hostages.
The resolution cites the “importance of the ongoing diplomatic efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States aimed at reaching a comprehensive ceasefire deal, consisting of three phases,” then states that it “Welcomes the new ceasefire proposal announced on May 31, which Israel accepted, calls upon Hamas to also accept it, and urges both parties to fully implement its terms without delay and without condition.”
But Israel never accepted the ceasefire deal Biden posted on May 31, when he claimed on social media, “Israel has now offered a roadmap to an enduring ceasefire – and the release of all the hostages. Yesterday, this proposal was transmitted by Qatar to Hamas. Today, I want to lay out its terms for the world.” Biden posted a graphic that included three phases, as follows:
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office immediately debunked that claim, saying that the actual Israeli proposal allowed “Israel to continue the war until all its objectives are achieved, including the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities. The actual proposal put forward by Israel, including the conditional transition from one phase to the next, allows Israel to uphold these principles.”
Nearly 12 hours later, Netanyahu’s office issued a second statement that was even more pointed in countering Biden’s claims.
“Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” the statement said. “Under the proposal, Israel will continue to insist these conditions are met before a permanent ceasefire is put in place. The notion that Israel will agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are fulfilled is a non-starter.”
The administration is escalating its war against Israel.
This morning the US will bring this resolution to a vote in the UN Security Council. Its purpose is to force Israel to capitulate to Hamas/Iran and lose the war, accomplishing none of its goals – leaving Hamas in power,… pic.twitter.com/YqRHUmt2Tq— Caroline Glick (@CarolineGlick) June 10, 2024
