*A global ceasefire is coming* and it'll [fulfill] the significant prophecy at 1 Thessalonians 5: 3.

the war could end tomorrow, but Netanyahu the war criminal say no.

The comments are really ironic? Where do they even get the information they got from Iran/Islamic??

The president's approval rating among Arab-Americans has plummeted over the past year, largely due to anger at US support for Israel’s military campaign, and this could damage the party's prospects in November.

Biden has been pushing for a diplomatic agreement between Israel and Hamas for months, and has indicated several times that one is close. A deal before the election would be a major boost for the president and the Democratic Party but appears increasingly unlikely.

These comments are disgusting. We’re truly at the beginning of the end, aren’t we? Turning against each other, the disgusting selfishness I see daily, greed, entitlement.

the war could end tomorrow, but hezbos, hamass, and iran say no.

Israel they don't know muslims well

While the Biden administration has mostly criticised Hamas for failing to reach an agreement, the president has also expressed increasing public frustration with Netanyahu, who he recently said was not doing enough to strike a deal.

Netanyahu, meanwhile, has rejected suggestions from Washington that an agreement is close.

The increasingly fractious relationship between Biden and Netanyahu, who have known one another for decades, contrasts with the friendly relationship the Israeli leader had with former president Donald Trump, the current Republican nominee.

Israel, meanwhile, has continued strikes on Gaza and pushed ahead with a ground invasion in southern Lebanon. It has also vowed to respond to an Iranian ballistic missile attack this week.

At his appearance at Friday's press briefing, which came as a shock to reporters in the room as it was his first since becoming president four years ago, Biden responded to concern that Israel could strike Iranian oil fields in retaliation.
