Biden Administration Contemplates Unilateral Recognition of Palestinian State, Breaking From Long-Standing Israel Policy

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is reportedly exploring the possibility of a unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, signaling a significant departure from the longstanding U.S. policy and Israel’s stance. According to Axios, Blinken has instructed the State Department to review options for recognizing a Palestinian state after the recent conflict between Hamas and Israel.

While U.S. officials maintain that there has been no formal policy change, the mere consideration of such options indicates a shift in the Biden administration’s approach to recognizing Palestinian statehood. Historically, U.S. policy opposed unilateral recognition of Palestine as a state, emphasizing that statehood should only be achieved through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The revelation comes as Blinken is set to visit Israel for the fifth time since the outbreak of the conflict initiated by a Hamas terror attack on October 7. Despite expressing sympathy for the Israeli people, Blinken has been urging Israel to accept a Palestinian state, a stance that contradicts the Israeli government’s position.

Efforts to find a diplomatic resolution to the Gaza conflict have prompted a reconsideration of established U.S. paradigms. The Biden administration is reportedly tying the potential normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia to the establishment of a pathway for the creation of a Palestinian state. The administration had been working on a comprehensive deal with Saudi Arabia before the October 7 incident, which included a peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Saudi officials have indicated that any potential normalization with Israel would hinge on the establishment of an “irrevocable” pathway toward a Palestinian state. Some within the Biden administration are now contemplating that recognition of a Palestinian state could be an initial step in the negotiation process to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, departing from the traditional approach of considering it as the final step.

China’s Highly Controlled Internet Is Filled With Anti-Semitic Rhetoric Following Hamas Slaughter

Aaron Keyak, the State Department’s deputy special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism, suggested that anti-Semitism has spread throughout China since Hamas’ surprise attack against the Jewish state on October 7, according to Fox News Digital. The comments were made last week when Keyak spoke at the U.S. Bar Association.

Keyak said that “[t]here’s been an increase in the People’s Republic of China’s state media and online discourse of antisemitic tropes that Jews control the United States through deep U.S.-Israel ties, as well as control over banks, the media, and that they have influence over government leaders.”

“Conjecture that Jews control the U.S. government and U.S. wealth is an antisemitic falsehood intended to degrade trust in the United States, our democratic institutions and, ultimately, democracy around the globe.”

The Hudson Institute published a report in November 2023 that laid out China’s propensity for anti-Semitic rhetoric. The report mentioned that China’s ideological roots are, in many ways, rooted in Marxist political thought. And Karl Marx’s “first serious publications was his 1844 pamphlet ‘On the Jewish Question,’ in which he argued that Jews constituted ‘a problem’ for Europe, the solution to which was for Europe to rid itself of what he termed the Jews’ real religion — the worship of money.” . . .

Most of the hatred that has been expressed about Jews has been online, with Chinese “netizens” openly ridiculing the parents of Noa Argamani, who is a half-Chinese, Israeli-born captive who was kidnapped by Hamas. Though Argamani’s mother has asked Beijing for help in rescuing her daughter, she has been mocked online and the victim of a string of profanities.

Poll Reveals American Support for Hamas

A recent Harvard-Harris poll conducted among 2,346 registered voters from January 17-19 sheds light on American sentiments regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The key findings indicate an overwhelming 80% of American voters supporting Israel, while 20% express support for the Hamas terrorist organization.

The survey, conducted with a margin of error not specified, provides insights into the diverse opinions across different age groups. Despite the overall support for Israel, younger voters stand out in their perspectives. This demographic tends to believe in the potential for negotiating with Hamas for peace, supporting an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, and favoring the restoration of the Palestinian Authority in the region. Notably, a majority of 18-24-year-olds express the belief that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza, despite a simultaneous majority view that Israel aims to avoid civilian casualties.

The poll also touches on various aspects related to the conflict, including opinions on the nature of the Hamas attack on Israel in October, views on President Joe Biden’s Iran policy, and support for U.S. strikes against Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

It is evident from the survey that while there is significant backing for Israel, opinions diverge, especially among the younger demographic, pointing to the concerning perspectives on the ongoing situation in the region.

Hamas Official Declares Rejection of Two-State Solution, Calls for Israel’s Demise

A senior Hamas official has openly admitted that his terror group will never accept a two-state solution — and boasted that its Oct. 7 attack proved it is possible to expand the Palestinian territory and wipe out Israel.

Khaled Mashal — a key figure helping to run the terror organization from Qatar — claimed in a videotaped interview with Kuwaiti podcaster Amar Taki last week that Gazans and Israelis cannot co-exist, a sentiment he said was made all too clear after Oct. 7.

“I would like to say two things about the two-state solution. First, we have nothing to do with the two-state solution,” the 67-year-old terrorist said in a translation provided by MEMRI TV. “We reject this notion, because it means you would get a promise for a [Palestinian] state, yet you are required to recognize the legitimacy of the other state, which is the Zionist entity.

“This is unacceptable,” he added. “We demand to be liberated, to get rid of the occupation and to have our independence and our state.”

Mashal also acknowledged that Hamas was never an organization that would just govern Gaza after it came to power in 2007 but one that would destroy the Jewish state. (Read more from “Hamas Official Declares Rejection of Two-State Solution, Calls for Israel’s Demise” HERE)

Surrender: Biden Admin Tells Netanyahu Israel Can’t Defeat Hamas

Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week that Israel cannot defeat Hamas — that there is no “military solution,” and that Israel will have to accept a Palestinian state.

Netanyahu reportedly rejected the idea.

NBC News reported Wednesday that Blinken, and Biden, are therefore trying to work around Netanyahu — the democratically-elected leader of Israel — in a departure from the Biden administration’s posture as the supposed defender of democratic ideals:

Blinken told Netanyahu that ultimately there is no military solution to Hamas, according to the officials, and that the Israeli leader needs to recognize that or history will repeat itself and violence will continue. But, the officials said, Netanyahu was unmoved.

The officials said the Biden administration is trying to lay the groundwork with other Israeli and civil society leaders in anticipation of an eventual post-Netanyahu government. In an attempt to work around Netanyahu, Blinken also met individually with members of his war Cabinet and other Israeli leaders, including opposition leader and former Prime Minister Yair Lapid, officials said.

Biden Administration Urges Israel to Ease Intensity on Hamas in Gaza

The Biden White House said on Sunday that they are “intensely” pressuring Israel to lower the intensity of their military operations against the Hamas terrorist organization inside Gaza.

The Sunday remarks from John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, to Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” came 100 days after Hamas’ unprecedented terror attack when more than 1,200 Israelis were murdered.

Revealed: U.N. Teachers Praised Hamas Oct. 7 Attacks Against Israel

Teachers in the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) made antisemitic comments and celebrated the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel in group chats, according to a watchdog investigation report released Wednesday.

UNRWA is the primary U.N. agency responsible for providing humanitarian services to Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and other Middle Eastern nations, including education, health care, emergency aid and social services. A group message channel of over 3,000 UNRWA teachers was discovered to be filed with posts praising Hamas as “heroes” for killing and raping civilians in Israel on Oct. 7, with some posts calling for the execution of the remaining hostages in Gaza, according to UN Watch, a nongovernmental watchdog agency.

“This is the motherlode of UNRWA teachers’ incitement to Jihadi terrorism,” Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, said in a statement Wednesday.

Examples include one UNRWA teacher, Waseem Ula, who has made several posts in the group chat celebrating Hamas and calling for the murder of Israelis, according to UN Watch. One of his posts includes a photo of a suicide bomber vest with the caption, “Wait, sons of Judaism.” In another post, he refers to terrorist Akran Abu Hasanen as his “friend” and “brother.”

Another UNRWA teacher, Abdallah Mehjez, seeks to aid Hamas by encouraging Palestinians in the group chat not to heed Israel’s warnings to move out of areas in Gaza that may be targeted in military operations, according to UN Watch. Prior to his career with UNRWA, Mehjez worked as a journalist for the BBC. (Read more from “Revealed: U.N. Teachers Praised Hamas Oct. 7 Attacks Against Israel” HERE)

Report: Biden Admin Warns Israel Against Taking Major Military Action Against Hezbollah

Israel is considering launching a major military operation against Hezbollah after months of harassment and threats from the terror group, alarming some U.S. officials.

Hezbollah has threatened Israel on its northern border from Lebanon for months since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, murdering roughly 1,200 people and taking hostage hundreds more. Warnings from Israel that it intends to put a stop to Hezbollah’s threats have alarmed the Biden administration, which fears a growing Middle East conflict, according to The Washington Post. . .

The Biden administration is reportedly warning Israel against taking significant action against Hezbollah, warning that a U.S. intelligence assessment found that if Israel were to expand its military operations to Lebanon as well as Gaza, success would be difficult for Israel to achieve.

Biden administration officials believe Israel’s signals against Hezbollah may be a result of political pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu may push military action against Hezbollah in order to recover politically from the fallout over a failure to prevent the invasion of October 7, according to Biden administration concerns shared with the Post.

Biden Again Bypasses Congress for Weapons Sale to Israel

The Biden administration used emergency powers to bypass congressional approval to sell weapons to Israel for the second time since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on Friday, The Associated Press reported.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Congress he had determined Israel has an emergency requirement for the fuses, charges and primers and other components of the 155mm ammunition Israel is already fielding covered under the $147 million sale, the State Department said Friday, according to the AP. Israel needs the equipment to make the munitions functional, justifying the bypass, even as President Joe Biden has reportedly sparred with Israeli leadership over the conduct of the war and its mounting civilian toll.

“Given the urgency of Israel’s defensive needs, the secretary notified Congress that he had exercised his delegated authority to determine an emergency existed necessitating the immediate approval of the transfer,” the department said in a statement, according to the AP.

“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against the threats it faces,” it said.

Blinken made a similar determination on Dec. 9, allowing Israel to move forward with a $106 million sale of 4,000 rounds of U.S.-made tank ammunition without the usual congressional oversight procedure, according to the AP. Typically, Congress has a mandate to review and approve foreign military sales. (Read more from “Biden Again Bypasses Congress for Weapons Sale to Israel” HERE)

Thousands of Gazans Will Become Christian, Palestinian Evangelical Predicts

An ex-member of the Fatah terrorist organization, who embraced Christianity in the early 1990s, has asserted that a considerable number of Muslims in Gaza are likely to forsake Islam in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas War, gravitating towards Christianity.

Speaking to Joel Rosenberg on the latest episode of the Rosenberg Report, which aired on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) over the weekend, Taysir “Tass” Abu Saada said that he predicts many Gazans will feel so hopeless, lost and lied to by Hamas after the war that they will abandon Islam and Hamas’s extremism for the teachings of the Bible.

“Hamas is an ideology that is spread among many people, not only in the Gaza Strip but all over the world,” Saada told Rosenberg. “However, God has a plan. And I believe the Arabs’ and the Jews’ plan is also part of that, and that is where my hope is.

“That is why I am back in the Holy Land, to move to the Gaza Strip and take part in rebuilding,” Saada continued. “I believe with all the destruction, with all that happened, with the hardship the Palestinians have gone through, they cannot sit back but will ask, ‘Why?’ . . .

The Christian convert said that he already has a team on the ground ministering to Gazans during the war, and these individuals are telling him that “the harvest is going to be huge.” (Read more from “Thousands of Gazans Will Become Christian, Palestinian Evangelical Predicts” HERE)
