Joe Biden reportedly gave Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu his support for a ground invasion into Gaza to eradicate Hamas.

Here’s the report from the Times of London:

I don’t know why Twitter is censoring that screenshot of nothing but text, but here’s what it says:

Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, has won private backing from President Biden to press ahead with a ground invasion of Gaza, according to accounts of closed-door meetings between the two men.

On a visit to Israel, Biden told Netanyahu he remained “fully in support” of Israel’s plans to launch an incursion in order to “eradicate Hamas”, despite continuing outrage at Tuesday night’s explosion at a hospital in Gaza which killed hundreds of civilians.

Of course Netanyahu didn’t need Biden’s support to do this, but it goes without saying that he’s very happy to have it because it sends a message to his enemies.

But that being said, Netanyahu is not a fool. He knows Biden’s support comes with strings attached, which was the 100 million in humanitarian aid Biden announced earlier today. It’s outrageous and it will be a gift to Hamas, but I understand why Netanyahu would agree to it.

That humanitarian aid will come via Egypt’s Rafah border crossing:

 
Lastly, Biden is giving an Oval Office address tonight for who knows what. I just hope he doesn’t turn around and stab Israel in the back while speaking. He’s already doing it with the $6 billion.
