Biden is such a pathetic weakling. Before the 2022 election, he was down on his hands and knees pleading with the Saudis to increase oil production so the price of gasoline would moderate and make the Democrats look a little better. The Saudis laughed at him. Of course, he couldn't ask domestic producers to step up production because he was already doing everything he could to curtail our domestic oil & gas production. Now, with the 2024 election coming up and there being discontent within the mooslim, terrorist-loving wing of the Democrat Party, he goes hat-in-hand begging to Egypt and Qatar seeking their help in forcing the terrorists of Hamas to see reason and help him out of his domestic, electoral predicament. Problem is, Joe ... Hamas is nothing but a bunch of blood-thirsty murderers and rapists ... they aren't reasonable ... or intelligent ... they just want to kill Jews ... which is why any rational person would tell Hamas supporters in the U.S. to f**k off and back Israel to the hilt in its efforts to eliminate Hamas - permanently. Good grief, Joe ... you're a sniveling pussy and EVERYONE around the world sees that fact.

President Joe Biden urged Egypt and Qatar to coerce the terrorist group Hamas into agreeing to a hostage deal with Israel as National Security adviser Jake Sullivan plans to meet with hostage families next week.
According to several reports, Biden wrote letters to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, pressuring them to “secure commitments from Hamas to agree and abide by a deal.”
The president deployed CIA Director William Burns to Cairo to present a potential hostage deal in order to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas militants.
The hostage deal was reportedly discussed between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday over a phone call in which the president “made clear that everything must be done to secure the release of hostages, including American citizens, now held by Hamas terrorists for nearly six months.”
“They discussed the importance of fully empowering Israeli negotiators to reach a deal, which in its first phase would secure the release of women, elderly, sick, and wounded hostages,” a White House official said.
Biden urged Netanyahu to agree to an “immediate ceasefire” as the administration views this as being the only way to allow additional humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.
Or, a better idea ... tell the Israelis to help minimize the inevitable suffering in Gaza by stepping on the gas and completing the execution of Hamas as quickly as possible.
Previously, Israel and Hamas agreed to a six-week ceasefire in exchange for the release of sick, elderly, and wounded hostages held by the terrorist group. However, that deal has been paused for several weeks.
“This basic fact remains true: There would be a ceasefire in Gaza today had Hamas simply agreed to release this vulnerable category of hostages – the sick, wounded, elderly, and young women," the White House official added. “The onus is on Hamas to release the hostages and bring relief to the people of Gaza through a prolonged ceasefire.”
Well, the undeniable fact is that there was a standing ceasefire in place, which Hamas unilaterally broke with its act of war against Israeli civilians on October 7th. Hamas is not interested in any kind of peace ... it only wants to kill Jews. They are rabid dogs cowardly hiding behind their own civilian population and it is highly doubtful that many, if any, of the hostages are still alive at this point.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Israel could become “indistinguishable” from Hamas if it does not cite its humanitarian concerns for its citizens as the war continues.
"Indistinguishable," eh, Blinken? You're not too bright, boy ... Hamas started this war and truly has no interest in ending it. Israel has done everything within its power to limit civilian casualties, while Hamas does everything it can to maximize civilian casualties. Anyone with an IQ north of 60 can see that Hamas and Israel are nothing alike - and never will be.
