Biden administration stabbing Israel in the back?
Yes.
[American Thinker] From Front Page Magazine:

The Israeli journalist Amit Segal published a Hebrew-language story in the popular Israeli news outlet Mako that reveals an American betrayal of Israel of stupefying magnitude. ’Very senior officials associated with the International Criminal Court in The Hague,’ wrote Segal, ’have spoken about Israel’s fear of arrest warrants for senior officials in the context of the war in Gaza. The officials told N12 [Mako’s broadcast channel] that the intention to issue such orders would not have been possible without American consent.’

If this recent report should prove accurate, this would constitute one of the most egregious betrayals of one supposed ally by another...in recorded history. With friends like the Biden administration, who needs enemies? And, sadly, Israel has lots of those.

Should these allegations prove true, it would mean that Biden and his puppet masters are not content with attempting to incarcerate political opponents here at home, but also actively seek to have those they dislike abroad arrested—with the aid of an international body! To my knowledge, even Hitler and his minions didn’t do that.

Apparently not content with the Afghanistan debacle/disaster (and accidentally donating billions of dollars in crack military equipment to the likes of the Taliban after hastily bugging out), nor with promulgating an endless war in Eastern Europe, Biden and Crew have now pivoted to stabbing a long-time ally—and the only democracy in the Middle east—in the back.

Again, should the report be born out, it would clearly illustrate that the Biden administration itself is an illegitimate, protofascist regime bent on destabilizing other nations, including historically friendly ones.

How does one say "FJB" in Hebrew?

Blinken says US can't support Rafah assault without humanitarian plan
[GEO.TV] US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
said on Wednesday he has still not seen a plan for Israel's planned offensive on the southern Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.
city of Rafah that would protect civilians, repeating that Washington could not support such an assault.

Blinken and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in Jerusalem for two-and-a-half hours, after which Israel repeated that the Rafah operation would go ahead despite the US position and a stark UN warning that it would lead to "tragedy".

"We cannot, will not support a major military operation in Rafah absent an effective plan to make sure that civilians are not harmed and no, we've not seen such a plan," Blinken told news hounds.

that does not require a major military operation in Rafah," he said, adding that it was the subject of ongoing talks with Israeli officials.

All of these ways have already been tried - in vain. No comment on "your judgment".

Strip failed a routine inspection carried out just three days before Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",’s October 7 onslaught, Channel 12 news reports.

The report says the snap inspection was carried out at 6:30 a.m. on October 4, exactly 72 hours before the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, during which some 3,000 Paleostinian gunnies stormed the border and killed some 1,200 people and kidnapped 253.

IDF says combat engineers destroyed 2 attack tunnels in northern Gaza
[IsraelTimes] IDF combat engineers demolished two attack tunnels belonging to the Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun in recent weeks, the military says.

The IDF says the two tunnels were under "continuous intelligence and technological surveillance" since their discovery and until they were demolished.

#1  Fri 21 May 2021: "After four wars in 13 years, or four battles in a single conflict punctuated by intermittent periods of calm, many Israelis and Palestinians on Friday expressed a weary sense of deja vu about the latest Gaza ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. “Life will return, because this is not the first war, and it will not be the last war,” said a shop owner, Ashraf Abu Mohammad, in Gaza.
