According to reports from The Daily Wire and The Washington Post, the Biden Administration withheld key intelligence on senior Hamas officials to pressure Israel into giving up its planned invasion of Rafah.
From The Daily Wire:
Biden officials have reportedly offered to supply Israel with intelligence on top Hamas officials in exchange for assurances that the Israeli military will not conduct a full-scale invasion of Rafah, which Israeli officials have repeatedly promised to do in order to take out the remaining battalions of Hamas left in the Gaza Strip, according to The Washington Post.
Critics blasted the proposal, accusing President Joe Biden of withholding information that could finish the Israel-Hamas war faster, as well as potentially lead to the rescue of hostages still held by Hamas.
This report comes hot on the heels of Biden’s CNN appearance last week, in which President Joe confirmed he was delaying weapon shipments to Israel.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said.
“If Israel needs to stand alone, it will stand alone,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in response to Biden’s remarks.

Is there anything more cynical than this? More repulsive?
The administration says it has intel on the wherabouts of the Hamas terror masters but will only share if Israel agrees not to eradicate Hamas.
This is an ally? This is a friend?https://t.co/ZmGIk2JY9m— Caroline Glick (@CarolineGlick) May 11, 2024
