The Biden-Harris admin has America on the brink of war. Now they’re being pushed over the edge.
And as war breaks out, President Biden and VP Harris are nowhere to be found.
The answer from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on the international stage has largely been to stick their heads in the sand when conflict has been breaking out. They’re happy to hand over a blank check to the Ukrainians in their war against Russia, but that’s it. On the Israel-Gaza conflict front, they’ve largely been silent in terms of drawing up any efforts to ease the tensions in the region.
Now Israel is being plunged into a war against Hezbollah, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are ignoring the war entirely. The answer so far from the Biden-Harris regime? Nothing at all.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, Hezbollah launched approximately 150 rockets into northern Israel, with most of them being intercepted, according to Israeli officials. The militant group claimed responsibility for firing numerous Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 missiles at the Ramat David airbase in Haifa. This operation was described by Hezbollah as a response to the fatal two-day explosion campaign involving pagers and walkie-talkies, widely attributed to Israel. Hezbollah made this announcement on its Telegram channel.
This is a Hezbollah rocket slamming into an Israeli home today.

One of the rockets reportedly caused damage near a residential building in Kiryat Bialik, a city close to Haifa. Emergency medical services confirmed that one man was “lightly wounded by shrapnel from a missile,” as reported by Reuters, with the Associated Press noting the same incident. The Times of Israel added that two additional injuries were reported in connection with the attack.
Simultaneously, Israeli air defenses intercepted “two cruise missiles and two drones fired from Iraq, none of which hit Israeli territory,” according to statements from the military reported by the Times of Israel. Iran-backed Shiite militias in Iraq have sporadically targeted Israel and American positions in the region.
The recent escalation follows a significant Israeli airstrike on Friday that targeted a neighborhood in Beirut, resulting in the death of a senior Hezbollah terrorist and at least thirteen others. This was one of the most intense assaults on the Lebanese capital in decades. Ibrahim Akil, the target of the strike, was implicated in the 1983 Beirut bombings that k*lled hundreds of Americans. Since 2023, the U.S. State Department has offered a $7 million reward for information leading to his capture.

Akil was k*lled in the airstrike that demolished an eight-story building where Hezbollah members were reportedly gathered. Israeli President Isaac Herzog stated that the meeting was intended to plan an attack on Israel’s northern Galilee region, similar to the October 7-Hamas assault.
“We don’t want this war,” Herzog said. “We absolutely did not seek this war.”
“This war was instigated by the empire of evil, by the Iranian proxies in the region, under the command of Iran,” Herzog added.
On Saturday, the exchange of hostilities continued, with Israel launching nearly 300 projectiles in a preemptive strike against what the military claimed was a planned Hezbollah assault. The situation has raised concerns that the weekend’s escalations could lead to a broader regional conflict. The last major conflict between Israel and Hezbollah occurred in 2006, resulting in over 1,000 Lebanese and more than 150 Israeli deaths.
Hezbollah further escalated tensions by releasing a nine-and-a-half-minute video featuring aerial drone footage captured in June. The footage, which included views of Haifa’s sensitive seaports and strategic zones, disturbed many Israelis. Haifa, Israel’s third-largest city, is considered the northern capital and has a significant Arab population. On Sunday, Hezbollah rockets were also intercepted near Nazareth, a city almost entirely inhabited by Arabs.
This follows news last week of Israel remotely detonating pagers in a targeted attack of Hezbollah terrorists. The Biden-Harris administration also responded with mixed feelings about that attack as well, even though it was extremely targeted to just the radical terrorists themselves and not innocent citizens.

The war front in the Middle East is expanding, as Israel is now looking at defending a war on multiple fronts. One on the eastern front against radical Islamic regimes like Iran, one in the north against the Hezbollah terrorists, and one to their west against Hamas radicals concentrated in the Gaza strip.
