Joe Biden is going to go down in history as one of the US presidents who have exhibited the most weakness, with serious consequences for many.<\/p>\n
The effects of the weakness that Joe Biden has been exhibiting<\/big><\/p>\n In the summer of 2021, Biden's weakness was reflected in a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan<\/strong> that generated a serious humanitarian crisis in that country and ended up handing it over to a terrorist group, the Taliban. His weakness also gave rise to Russia to invade Ukraine<\/strong> after the humiliating withdrawal of US diplomats from that country, which sent Putin the message that Biden would not lift a finger in that country.<\/p>\n The US abstention from a resolution that favors Hamas<\/big><\/p>\n Now, as Israel faces terrorists<\/strong> who massacred hundreds of unarmed civilians in the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, the UN Security Council has called for \"an immediate ceasefire\" in Gaza during Ramadan<\/a>. It has done so through a resolution that does not condemn Hamas<\/a> and that has been approved thanks to the abstention of the US<\/strong>, which has the right of veto in that Council. A veto right that China and Russia have used to block a resolution proposed by the US last Friday that linked the ceasefire to the release of the hostages.<\/p>\n The resolution approved yesterday by the UN Security Council calls for \"the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages\", without even mentioning the kidnapping group, Hamas<\/strong>, as if to imply that Israel also has committed kidnappings, and without linking it to the ceasefire<\/strong>. We already know the consequences this will have: Hamas is not going to release the hostages, but the UN will demand that Israel stop fighting the terrorists in exchange for nothing: it is a victory for Hamas.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hamas terrorists express 'satisfaction' with resolution<\/big><\/p>\n It was not difficult to guess who would benefit from a resolution that tactically equates a democratic State, Israel, and a terrorist organization, Hamas<\/strong>, which is the cause of this war with the terrorist attack it launched against the people. Israeli on October 7, 2023, a fact that the resolution also does not mention. Yesterday, through its Safa agency, Hamas celebrated this UN resolution and showed its \"satisfaction\"<\/a>, stating \"the need to reach a permanent ceasefire that leads to the withdrawal of the entire occupying army from the Gaza Strip<\/strong>.\"<\/em> The terrorist group has asked the Security Council to pressure Israel to that purpose.<\/p>\n Outrage in Israel over US abstention<\/big><\/p>\n Unlike the Hamas terrorists, the UN resolution and the US abstention have caused outrage in Israel<\/strong>. After the approval of this text, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a high-level visit to the US in protest<\/a>. Yesterday, the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel released a statement<\/a> which states:<\/p>\n The United States has abandoned its policy in the UN today.<\/strong> Just a few days ago, it supported a Security Council resolution that linked a call for a ceasefire to the release of hostages.<\/p>\n China and Russia vetoed that resolution partly because they opposed a ceasefire that was linked to the release of hostages.<\/strong> Yet today, Russia and China joined Algeria and others in supporting the new resolution precisely because it had no such linkage.<\/p>\n Regrettably, the United States did not veto the new resolution, which calls for a ceasefire that is not contingent on the release of hostages.<\/strong><\/p>\n This constitutes a clear departure from the consistent US position in the Security Council<\/strong> since the beginning of the war.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s resolution gives Hamas hope that international pressure will force Israel to accept a ceasefire without the release of our hostages<\/strong>, thus harming both the war effort and the effort to release the hostages.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The White House justifies itself by claiming that the resolution is not binding<\/big><\/p>\n This situation gives rise to one of the worst crises in the relationship between the US and Israel<\/strong>, as a consequence of a presidency, that of Joe Biden, marked by gestures of weakness. Yesterday, in the face of Israel's outrage<\/strong>, White House National Security Advisor John Kirby said<\/a>: \"We\u2019re kind of perplexed by this. It\u2019s a non-binding resolution<\/strong>, so there\u2019s no impact at all on Israel\u2019s ability to continue to go after Hamas.\"<\/em><\/p>\n Biden has given a political victory to Hamas that will be used against Israel<\/big><\/p>\n Kirby's statement ignores the fact that the Biden administration has handed over a political victory to Hamas in the UN Security Council<\/strong>, a fact that will be used by Hamas's international allies to continue criminalizing Israel and fueling anti-Semitism in different countries. Even more criticizable is the support of countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Japan and South Korea for that resolution<\/strong>, uniting their votes with the Chinese communist dictatorship and Hamas allies such as Russia and Algeria. With defenders of democracy<\/em> like these, terrorists and dictators have it very easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n
