In this case I do not think Biden is "walking a very fine line." I think he is abandoning the hostages held in Rafah, including the American hostages.

[astronorthwet]

No, he’s WAY over the line. He’s basically saying he will abandon Israel for defending itself from terrorist regimes.

[GaryTollett]

America would never want a ceasefire if this happened to America

[SuperOdyss]

He is not walking a fine line. He is tripping over his feet and looking every bit the demented old timer that he is.

I still remember how the US acted as a result of Sep 11

Mrs. Lewis, this sounds an awful lot like Quid Pro Quo, the same thing they impeached Trump over.

[Rope_Adope]

Hez-ebola is still fighting in the north. This isn’t just a Rafah thing

[CraigTodd-xd]

Bidens literally handing 2024 to Trump by doing this.

[bigron]

Sad to say but we know there are no more hostages. Sorry.

[normanharrison]

Everyone is walking on his way. No problem with that.

[lynwill]

Israel needs to figure it out. United States should not have to handle every aspect of this war

[TheJayster]

I don’t want my hard earned taxes. Going to Israel or Ukraine in the trillions when it should go to free healthcare for Americans🇺🇸 got a lot of bills not happy
