Joe Biden, the retiring president of the United States, continued to attempt to dictate to Israel how it should defend itself. He said on Wednesday that he opposed a preemptive Israeli attack on Iran’s nuke weapons facilities in spite of the fact that the Islamic Republic fired hundreds missiles at the Jewish State on Tuesday and supported Hezbollah terrorists.
Biden replied to reporters that he did not support such a retaliation, after Iran launched 180 missiles on Israel Tuesday.
Biden made his comments after he spoke with fellow Group of Seven leaders, including Canada, France Germany Italy Japan and the United Kingdom, by phone about coordinating new sanctions on Iran.
In a press release, the White House stated that Biden had reaffirmed America’s “full support and solidarity to Israel and its citizens” as well as “univocally condemning Iran’s attack on Israel.”
Biden said that there are “things that need to be done” to respond to the Iranian barrage. He said that he expects the G7 to announce sanctions soon.
Biden, as usual looking befuddled, argued again that Israel’s reaction should be “proportional.” What happened to the “shock-and-awe”?
It’s the same guy that has appeased Iran repeatedly and undermined Benjamin Netanyahu whenever he could.
The Administration talked tough but didn’t decide to tighten up oil sanctions against Iran.
The White House promised Tuesday that it would impose sanctions on Iran in response to its latest attack against Israel, which followed a similar one in April. However, the White House refused to commit to enforcing sanctions on Iranian oil exports despite calls from both parties of Congress.
It is unclear whether Netanyahu will listen the lame duck president, since they are not close friends.
After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to heed Biden’s Monday request that he refrain from launching incursions in southern Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah’s sites, it’s not clear if the Israeli Government will listen to Biden’s latest preference.
The Jerusalem Post reported Biden’s warnings against an invasion in Lebanon were viewed by Israelis as “almost pro forma” because there was neither a threat nor a presentation of a diplomatic solution imminent.
Even though Biden’s performance is bad, he may be better than Queen Word Salad, his possible replacement:
