President Biden Accused of Betraying Israel Following Meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II
In a highly controversial move, President Biden has been accused of betraying Israel after his meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II. The meeting, which took place at the White House, marked the first visit by an Arab leader to the United States since Hamas’ brutal terror attack against Israel. This attack not only sparked a full-scale war in the Gaza Strip but also increased tensions throughout the Middle East, including in Jordan.
During the meeting, both Biden and King Abdullah II called for a cease-fire, urging an end to the Israel-Hamas war. However, the king also cautioned Israel against launching a major offensive in Rafah without a plan to protect civilians. This move by President Biden has drawn criticism from his opponents, who accuse him of catering to the far-left.
One of his critics, Senator Tom Cotton, expressed his concerns on social media, stating, “Biden is convinced his polls will improve by attacking Israel and embracing Hamas-supporters like Rashida Tlaib. He must hear from the majority of Americans who stand with Israel against Hamas.” These remarks highlight the growing divide within American politics regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Fox News host Mark Levin also condemned Biden’s actions, calling them “absolutely grotesque and unconscionable.” Levin accused Biden of betraying Israel and using King Abdullah II as a propagandist against the country. He further criticized Biden for not taking any questions after the meeting.
Levin’s strong words were met with support from some social media users, who questioned why the Jewish community continues to vote for Democrats despite what they perceive as discrimination and disrespect. The White House has yet to respond to these criticisms.
In response to the backlash, President Biden shared a message on social media, stating that he is working tirelessly to bring peace to Gaza and Israel. However, critics argue that Biden is pressuring Israel to stop fighting without addressing the larger issues at play, such as Iran and Qatar’s influence over Hamas.
The meeting between President Biden and King Abdullah II also coincided with a moment of levity for the president. During a speech at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference, Biden joked about his memory issues, drawing applause from the audience. This joke came shortly after the release of a report on Biden’s handling of classified material, which raised concerns about his mental acuity.
The controversy surrounding President Biden’s meeting with King Abdullah II highlights the complex nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the challenges faced by American leaders in navigating this issue. As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, it remains to be seen how the Biden administration will address these challenges and work towards a lasting peace in the region.
