Biden Must Not "Go Wobbly" on Israel

by Con Coughlin

  • Apart from dispatching several aircraft carrier battle groups and maintaining arms supplies to Israel, the US has also provided important diplomatic cover for Israel at the United Nations in New York, frustrating numerous attempts by the body to impose a ceasefire on Israel.
  • [T]he IDF has been astounded at the scale of the underground terrorist infrastructure that Hamas has constructed, and is determined to make sure the entire network, which was used to deadly effect to carry out the October 7 attacks, is destroyed before it considers any reduction in military activity.
  • It is vital, therefore, that the Biden administration fully comprehends that, from Israel's perspective, destroying Hamas is nothing less than an existential struggle, one that is vital to the future survival, security and prosperity of the Jewish state and in fact the entire region.
  • With the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) making good progress in their attempts to destroy the Islamist Hamas terrorist organisation, this is not the moment for the Biden administration to soften its support for Israel.
  • On the contrary, with the IDF exposing the true extent of Hamas's underground terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, with many of the terrorists' key command and control systems located either within or beneath hospitals, schools and mosques, Washington needs to give Israel the backing it needs to finish its declared objective of wiping Hamas from the face of the earth.
