Biden to visit Israel Wednesday after Hamas bloodbath as Gaza invasion looms

President Biden will travel to Israel on Wednesday to “reaffirm the United States’ solidarity” with the Jewish nation — more than a week after Hamas terrorists slaughtered over 1,400 people, including at least 30 Americans, and took dozens of hostages to the Gaza Strip.

Biden’s expected trip was announced Monday night by Secretary of State Antony Blinken after the top US diplomat met for nearly eight hours with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“On Wednesday, President Biden will visit Israel,” Blinken said during a short press briefing. “He’s coming here at a critical moment for Israel, for the region and for the world.”

The 80-year-old president’s visit will come as the Israeli military prepares to invade Gaza to clear out Hamas.

Biden’s trip will serve multiple purposes — first and foremost, “the president will reaffirm the United States’ solidarity with Israel and our ironclad commitment to its security,” Blinken said.

“President Biden will again make clear … that Israel has the right, and indeed the duty, to defend its people from Hamas and other terrorists and to prevent future attacks.”

Biden finds the time to make it to other countries but not to our southern border or to East Palestine Ohio.

Visiting Israel faster than he did Hawaii

The reason Biden is visiting is because we are in an election cycle, and Biden needs to look like he is presidential. It took Biden an entire year before he went to Ukraine. It took that long because there was no election, so there was no reason to rush a visit.

He's an embarrassment to us as a nation. We could not look more weak.

[michaelboykin]

He's worried about Palestine. Just not Palestine Ohio. Still hasn't been to the derailment. He's worried about every nation except the one he is supposed to defend. FJB

The Biden administration's incompetence is legendary!

Military contractors can’t donate to campaigns unless they’re selling more equipment. The only way to sell new equipment is to lose the old equipment in a war. Wake up, people. 10% to the big guy.

Close the border before this horrible event comes to the USA.

[blarg]

He’ll go to Israel but he won’t go to the border? This is gonna end well.

[Myron]

I can't believe he's sending 2000 troops over there.

[EliteWarrior]

Will Biden even remember he's in another country?

[marthaanderson]

How embarrassing is this going to be….😮

[LeeRice-ix]

Please don’t let him speak, ride a bike or walk on stage.

[Jerry-we]

How about he ask Americans what we need

[janelking]

No, no. Please don't let this mental patient go over there. Leave it all alone. We have some pretty big problems in the u.s. he needs to take care of first.

[roseyliles]

For a war that he started & paid for with our money 💰😭😞

[jeffdumpster]

Biden's going to ask for his standard 10% Big Guy fee.
