“I made it clear. If they go into Rafah, I will not suplly them with the weapons that were used in the past to deal with Rafah… to deal with other cities.
We will continue to ensure Israel is secure in terms of an “Iron Dome” and their ability to respond to attacks like (the one that – AA) came out of the Middle East recently.
We’re going to supply the weapons and artillery shells…”
Later in the interview, Biden publicly states: “American weapons were used by Israel to kill civilians in Gaza.”
All the Arab, Palestinian and Iranian media quote Biden’s remarks extensively:
“If Israel enters Rafah, we will not supply them with weapons, bombs and artillery shells.”
Biden is tying Israel’s hands and prevents it from defeating Hamas, abandoning Israel to its fate, and even announces so publicly.
This public announcement from the president of Israel’s great ally, in his own words and voice, has devastating consequences for shaping the Middle East.
First and foremost, Hamas will continue to harden positions in the negotiations. something that would make it difficult to end the war.
Israel’s enemies are seeing that Israel is left on its own. The next significant attack on Israel is being built right now. Biden gave the green light for this in such interviews.
Other allies of the US in the Middle East will look at the US as a broken reed. Who would want an alliance with a country that abandons its most important ally in one of its most challenging moments and abandons it in front of the whole world? If I were the ruler of Saudi Arabia, I would reconsider my strategic relations and look for alternatives. And this isn’t even the first time the US has done so – in recent years, the US has shown several times a despicable abandonment of its allies in the Middle East. Ask all the Afghani nationals that were running for their lives for fear of the Taliban, or Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the reliability of America as an ally…
Biden is speaking to his home audience, to the leaders of “Gaza camps” at universities in the US in order to win votes for the upcoming elections, all while leading to more violence in the Middle East in the long run.

Relationship with US is of prime strategic value to Israel, one of the most important factors in its national security policy. But it’s not important enough to make Israel go back to sitting behind static lines and wait for Hezbolla to have its Oct 7th – or to avoid finishing the job in Gaza.
As for Hamas they will not be destroyed, ultimately it’s an idea and it will always grow back, but the devastation of Gaza will make it think twice many times before attacking again. sadly there is no other language fundamentalist Islamists understand, even their own death or that of close family does not matter, ultimately they live for two things only: their status in the next world and keeping their position of power in this one.
