Congratulations "Uncommitted" voters and other protesters, it looks like you are at least part of making Biden's "blank check" support of Israel too politically expensive to continue. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as Biden tries to balance actions around an angry electorate vs. pro-Israel factions and money (which non-profit watchdog Open Secrets says he's the largest recipient of). Especially with the unofficial cease-fire deadline of Ramadan only 10 days away which is expected to be the launch of an Israeli offensive in Rafah barring a temporary cease-fire agreement. I say temporary because Netanyahu is cited in that article as saying, "If we have a deal, it will be delayed somewhat, but it will happen. If we don't have a deal, we'll do it anyway".

I hope this "no excuses" change in tone will yield meaningful results and most importantly relief for the civilians in Gaza.

Now tell your UN ambassador to reverse the veto in the security council so UN troops can actually do something about this.

It's in Netanyahu's interest to drag this out until November and do everything he can to make Biden lose to Trump. After that, all he has to do is mention the chonky fascist's "big manly hands" and he gets to do all the genocide he wants while continuing to keep his corrupt ass out of jail.

Biden needs to wake the fuck up.

Just had to wait for there to be 30,000 Palestinian deaths first.

9/11 had 2,996 deaths for a little bit of context. Just imagine what would be happening right now if there were 30,000 dead Americans.

"war-torn strip"???

More like, "massacred and obliterated strip". Not much of a "war" going on here

He's taking the Michigan numbers seriously. Let's hope it's not too little too late.

Sadly, this headline seems to be misleading. Checking for additional sources, I can find none that confirm that he actually called for a ceasefire.

According to the Associated Press, he did decry the loss of life in Gaza and announce that the US are about to commence airdrops of humanitarian aid, but at no point did he seem to do what this headline implies.

A Reuters article covering the same conference mentions the possibility of a ceasefire, but this apparently referred to a previous conversation a few days ago.

Unless anyone can find evidence to the contrary, I have to assume that this Newshub article is clickbait.

Cool, cool. Are we still supplying weapons to Israel? Give the weapons to Ukraine and tell Israel that's enough genocide for now.

Too little, too late. Military intervention or nothing, Israel and Gaza need to be taken in by UN peacekeeping forces and a new dialogue needs to be started about how to find a permanent solution for the coexistence of Palestinians and Israelis. If the need exists, maybe even deconstruct the current Israel to make way for a more tolerant and democratic nation that respects people of all origin.

calling for a ceasefire when it matters the most: before the elections. good job Biden.

I know this is way later than I or anyone whose been screaming for ceasefire wished for, but I'm so glad something has changed. I hope this is the just a start.

Losing a few votes in a primary sure does motivate a guy.

If he wanted to wrap up the election rn, he'd break formal relations with Israel and target IDF forces entering any UN green zones.

I'd also love to see what an F-35 would do to a Merkava

Everyone's in here giving Biden shit like not voting for him and letting Trump win will make things better for anyone.

He's doing the thing where he calls a temporary pause a "ceasefire" with the only leverage getting handed over.,. So the genocidal ethnostate can continue the slaughter at its leasure.

Sounds like a shit deal.

Calls? Did he call Netanyahu and threaten him to withhold weapons? We've heard this one before. Time to start showing results.
