US says there 'has to be a linkage between a ceasefire and the release of hostages'.
The resolution demanded “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in the war between Israel and the Palestinian group, along with “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages”.
There’s nothing ‘staying his hand’ anymore; the election is over, the UN is aligned on a ceasefire, Bibi ratfucked him publicly again and again,
and yet Biden STILL gives away billions in lethal aid.
Robert Wood, deputy ambassador to the United Nations, said that the US position remained there had “to be a linkage between a ceasefire and the release of hostages”.
Resolution demands a ceasefire
Resolution also demands an unconditional hostage release
Plz explain how that’s incompatible, beyond legalese weasel words. It’s not like they’re two separate resolutions that are going to be at all enforced.
Seriously, what’s else is left? His blind faith in expansionist Zionism? MIC/AIPAC kickbacks? Hamas is broken as a unified fighting force, they’ve reverted to insurgency style hit-and-run terror cells after their command structure was systematically decapitated - there is no ‘existential threat to Israel’ anymore outside of Netayahu’s himself.
