BIDEN-HARRIS Strategy Fails: Hamas Rejects Hostage Deal
— In a critical moment during negotiations, Hamas leader Sinwar rejected a hostage deal, banking on the BIDEN-HARRIS administration’s pressure on Israel to benefit Hamas. The Wall Street Journal reports Sinwar urged leaders outside Gaza to resist concessions, believing high civilian casualties would increase global pressure on Israel. This strategy aimed to exploit perceived weaknesses in the administration’s approach.
The report reveals a big miscalculation by the Biden-Harris team. Their dual strategy of pushing Israel for negotiations while criticizing it over Gaza backfired, as Sinwar saw this as an opportunity to reject compromise. By intensifying pressure on Israel, the administration inadvertently strengthened Hamas’s position and derailed potential agreements.
Critics swiftly reacted to these revelations. Journalist Daniel Greenfield stated that “the Biden-Harris administration emboldened Hamas.” Author Benjamin Weingarten highlighted extensive support provided to Iran and its affiliates under Obama-Biden policies, while political analyst Michael Scott Doran criticized their negotiation tactics as fundamentally flawed.
