A mere weeks before giving up power, the Biden–Harris administration continues to hamstring Israel in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 attack.

In a recent New York Times interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, he was asked essentially the same question three times: “Do you believe that Israel’s actions have been consistent with the rules of war?”; “Has Israel respected the rules of war in Gaza?”; and, “Have they [Israel] met [their wartime] responsibilities?” Rather than forcefully and correctly answer yes, Blinken did two great injuries to Israel:

He let the “Israel is committing genocide” canard live on. While Blinken did state that Israel did not commit genocide, he seems to validate alternative viewpoints: “As to how the world sees it — I can’t fully answer to that, but they — everyone has to look at the facts and draw their own conclusions from those facts.” By equivocating, Blinken allows the false claim that Israel committed genocide to endure.
He continued the false claim that the lack of humanitarian assistance was Israel’s failure. Blinken continued to claim that Israel did not deliver sufficient humanitarian assistance to Gaza. He stated, “We’ve found periods of time where, no, we didn’t think they [Israel] were doing enough.” Blinken also called Israel’s humanitarian assistance “insufficient.” Strangely, Blinken did not mention in the interview that the Biden–Harris administration had been pushing discredited reports that claim there was an imminent famine in Gaza, nor the number of times that Hamas intercepted humanitarian aid, nor the number of times that Hamas had operated in the humanitarian zones that Israel set up.

Blinken’s interview was revealing in several other ways.
U.S. impotent in negotiations with Hamas
Blinken essentially admitted that the Biden–Harris administration was unable to pressure Hamas in any tangible way for over a year.
Blinken admitted that when there was “public daylight between the United States and Israel” ...
