If only Biden had some kind of leverage he could use on Bibi like putting conditions on arms exports oh wait he completely refuses to do that so this is just bs rhetoric
Yeah, I'm not sure what the plan is if they turn down the "final" offer. The last time the US bluffed, that I know of, was the red line in Syria, and that involved a place Americans don't care about, and would have involved another American war in the Middle East to respond to.
I find "China's final warning" and actual consequences for Israel equally unlikely. Is there a third option?
The US will never stop supporting Israel. They are too dependent on it geopolitically.
I believe we may see some more inner political movement against Netanjahu supported by certain US agencies. He will not survive this conflict as prime minister.
This will of course not help Palestinians in the long run but it may help with a ceasefire and as a result help the democrats in the upcoming election which would be the main goal right now.
And let's just ignore the inconvenient part of congress constantly voting in favor of supplying Israel and the president not having enough power to override that without turning the country into a dictatorship.
God you Lemmy.ml people really don't live in reality.
