The world is falling apart with Biden at the helm. Now the president is about to make things so much worse.
And Biden just ordered U.S. troops to do the unthinkable.
President Joe Biden declared at his State of the Union speech on Thursday that U.S. troops will be sent to Gaza to assist in the development of Palestinian infrastructure.
Biden’s declaration comes as Israel has been waging military operations within Gaza for the past five months in response to Palestinian terrorists and Hamas’ massacre of 1,200 Israelis on October 7.
According to U.S. officials, the “emergency mission” would be to aid in the construction of a port in Gaza, which will provide a marine channel for humanitarian assistance from Cyprus.
Officials blamed Israel for the mission, stating that they were not allowing enough aid into Gaza, despite the fact that Hamas steals the majority of the aid and those who provide it are frequently targeted.
“We’re not waiting on the Israelis,” an official told Politico.
“This is a moment for American leadership, and we are building a coalition of countries to address this urgent need.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) slammed Biden over the stories, writing on X, “Joe Biden continues to capitulate to the pro-Hamas wing of his party at the expense of our Israeli allies.”
Richard Goldberg, Senior Adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, wrote: “If only Joe Biden had put as much effort into bringing all Americans home from captivity as he has into adopting Hamas propaganda on the situation in Gaza.”
Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman described the statement as a “cheap political trick”.
“Remember that billions of dollars of aid has come into Gaza over the past 15 years and almost all of it was used to build terror tunnels and rocket launchers. How will that be prevented this time? Won’t a port just accelerate and exacerbate this risk?” he posted on X.
“And even with a port, the humanitarian aid has to be loaded onto trucks to get to their destination — yes, the same trucks that Hamas is commandeering and preventing from going to the right people!”
“The issue in Gaza is not the infrastructure — it’s the leadership. How will that change when Biden isn’t even letting Israel destroy four Hamas battalions in Rafah?!” He continued.
“This is just a ‘wash rinse repeat’ strategy that has failed the Palestinians so many times in the past — throw money at them and then virtue signal!”
He stated that if there was no genuine accountability in Gaza, i.e. the eradication of Hamas and its leaders, the port would be “just a bridge to nowhere.”
Plenty of Republicans took Biden to task for tacitly helping terrorists.
Biden wants the U.S. military to open a port on Gaza’s coast to “ramp up” aid deliveries.
Stop aiding Hamas. Stop bending to terrorists.
Support Israel.

This is an insane idea, almost impossible to execute well without putting Americans at risk.
Congressional leadership must fight this with every tool at our disposal. https://t.co/R3X2qeitbp
