CRANKY OLD MAN ATTACKS FRIEND:
In a candid closed-door meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu shared explosive details of alleged threats he received from U.S. leaders over the past year.
“President Biden called me before the operation in Rafah and warned, ‘Prime Minister Netanyahu, if you proceed, you will be left on your own,’” Netanyahu recounted.
“My response was clear and resolute,” he continued. “‘Then we will handle it on our own.’”
Netanyahu revealed that just two days later, Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a follow-up warning: “You will not receive any further military aid.”
Undeterred, Netanyahu said he fired back: “We will fight with our hands and claws if we must. We will not compromise on Rafah.”
According to the Prime Minister, American officials had warned of catastrophic casualties in the operation, predicting up to 20,000 deaths. “That claim turned out to be a complete fabrication,” he said, underscoring his refusal to back down under pressure.
I’m so old, I remember when Joe Biden was going to restore our tattered alliances.
