In a disastrous interview with Univision, the mentally-degraded Commander-in-Chief put all of the blame squarely on Israel and called for a unilateral ceasefire without mentioning Hamas and the need to release hostages, including Americans
See the disgrace for yourself:
Asked whether Netanyahu is more concerned about his own political survival than Israel’s national interest, Biden responded, “I think what he’s doing is a mistake… I don’t agree with his approach.” He called the Israeli attack on the WCK convoy “outrageous,” inappropriately getting into the details of the attack and digressing oddly from the interviewer’s question.
“What I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country,” Biden told Univision, a US Spanish-language TV network, in an interview aired Tuesday.
“I’ve spoken with everyone from the Saudis to the Jordanians to the Egyptians. They’re prepared to move in,” Biden said. “They’re prepared to move this food in. And I think there’s no excuse to not provide for the medical and the food needs of those people. It should be done now.”
Administration officials, belatedly realizing the train wreck, and its impact on negotiation with Hamas, immediately rushed in to claim that the interview was recorded several days ago. They innocuously expressed outrage at the tactics of Hamas, in direct opposition to Biden’s unilateral blame on Israel.
A senior White House official insisted Biden’s comments referred to the truce being negotiated, which would require 40 hostages released over a six-to-eight week period. They denied the plain English of his call for Israel to unilaterally declare a ceasefire.
“There is no change in our position. The president was reiterating our longstanding position: we are calling for an immediate ceasefire that would last for at least six weeks as part of a hostage deal,” the official said.
“His quote [to Univision] makes that clear. This is in line with what he said at the State of the Union, and that we’ve repeatedly said,” the senior White House official added.
Biden’s top aides, in anticipating of the interview’s release, hurried to say that it was Hamas, not Israel,holding up a deal.
“There could be a ceasefire in place today that would extend for several weeks to be built upon longer if Hamas would be prepared to release some of those people, so let’s train the attention where it belongs… I believe Israel is ready and Hamas should step up to the table and be prepared to do so as well,” said US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
Hamas “has an opportunity now to agree to the proposal on a ceasefire and hostages. The ball is in Hamas’s court. The world is watching to see what it does,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.

Unilateral?!? It is obvious he’s not spoken with Sec Austin about this. Pandering for votes.
To vin elections, politicians are ready to sell their dignity and the surrender their best friends…
He didn’t just forget the US citizen hostages, if they are still alive, but EVERY Israeli citizen, Christian and Muslim as well as Jew; who will live again under constant threat from Hamas, if Bibi agrees to his policy of HATE! “Biden” is an anti-Yhwh, anti-Christian, anti-Semite, and has been all along; he’s not apt to change now!
