In a startling revelation, Biden's clandestine manipulations in Gaza have come to light, exposing his covert agenda to undermine Israel's defensive operations against Hamas. The Biden regime has reportedly offered Israel a dubious deal – secret intelligence to help locate Hamas leaders in exchange for Israel abandoning its questionable tactics in Rafah, jeopardizing the region's security.

This shocking exposé unveils Washington's under-the-table operations in Gaza, where Palestinian casualties are brushed aside in pursuit of deceptive Middle East agendas that misrepresent Hamas as the sole aggressor while curbing Israeli expansionism. As the Egypt-Gaza border intrigues escalate, Biden's covert collusion threatens to ignite a powder keg of instability and conflict in the region.

Escalating Tensions

The Brewing Conflict

The situation in Rafah is rapidly deteriorating, with the U.S. and Israel at loggerheads over the impending military operation. The Biden regime has issued stern warnings, threatening to cut off weapon supplies if Israel proceeds with a full-scale attack on the densely populated city 1. However, Netanyahu has defiantly rebuffed these threats, vowing to forge ahead with the Rafah operation, which he claims is necessary to neutralize hundreds of Hamas fighters entrenched in the area 2.

  1. A Widening Rift
    • A growing rift has emerged between President Biden and Israeli leadership over the planned military invasion of Rafah, exacerbating tensions in the region 3.
    • High-level negotiations aimed at brokering a ceasefire and hostage deal have been derailed, at least temporarily, due to anger over Israel's previous incursions into Rafah 3.
    • The article suggests a deepening divide between the U.S. and Israel over the ongoing conflict and Israel's planned operations in the Gaza Strip 3.
  2. International Outcry
    • The U.N. Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has urgently called for an immediate ceasefire as Israeli forces have "carpet-bombed" the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, resulting in numerous Palestinian casualties 4.
    • Officials from the E.U. and U.N. have warned against a major ground assault on Rafah, which currently shelters 1.4 million Palestinians after the Israeli military expanded evacuation orders for the city 4.
    • The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) has labeled the forced displacement of Palestinians from Rafah as "inhumane"  4 [14].

Israeli Aggression / Palestinian Suffering

Israeli forces raided the Arroub refugee camp near Hebron in the occupied West Bank, assaulting a Palestinian and arresting two others 4. / The Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza has been a significant target of Israeli attacks, leaving the camp in ruins due to intense bombardment 4.

Despite claiming to have defeated Hamas in northern Gaza, Israel issued new evacuation orders for residents of the Jabalia camp, signaling impending military operations against Hamas there 4. / An emergency doctor in Jabalia reported a dire situation, with no light or medical supplies due to the lack of fuel, and no oxygen available for patients 4 1 2 3 4.

Global Repercussions

The escalating tensions in Rafah have sparked international outrage and protests. In Malmö, Sweden, large pro-Palestinian demonstrations erupted over Israel's inclusion in the Eurovision Song Contest, with police employing heavy-handed tactics to disperse the protesters 4.

As Israel orders new evacuations in Rafah, forcing tens of thousands more to flee, the United Nations has sounded the alarm, warning that a full-scale invasion would further cripple humanitarian operations and cause a surge in civilian deaths 5. The Biden administration, while claiming to have evidence of Israel's potential breaches of international law protecting civilians, has taken a hypocritical stance, refusing to provide offensive weapons for the Rafah operation 5.

The devastating toll of Israel's bombardment and ground offensives has already claimed the lives of over 34,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry 5. The latest strikes on central Gaza, targeting Zawaida, Maghazi, and Deir al-Balah, have killed at least 19 more, including 8 women and 8 children 5 4 5.

Military Operation

Exposing the Grim Reality

The situation in Rafah is rapidly spiraling out of control, with Israel's relentless military operations leaving a trail of devastation and suffering for innocent Palestinians. Despite Hamas' acceptance of an Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposal, the Biden regime has shockingly signaled its approval for Israel's brutal tactics, initially endorsing the IDF's operation aimed at cutting off Hamas' ability to smuggle weapons and funds into Gaza 6 7.

  1. Israel's Ruthless Advance
    • In a bold move, Israel has seized control of Gaza's vital Rafah border crossing, a critical entry point for essential supplies like food and medicine for the 2.3 million Palestinians trapped in the besieged enclave 6.
    • The White House has downplayed this act of aggression as "an operation of limited scale and duration" aimed at curbing Hamas' arms smuggling, further exposing the Biden administration's complicity in Israel's oppressive policies 6.
  2. Civilian Casualties Mount
    • As Israeli forces push deeper into the southern city of Rafah, a mass exodus of Palestinians has ensued, fleeing the relentless bombardment and ground incursions 10.
    • Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry has reported a staggering 35,034 Palestinians killed and 78,755 wounded in Israel's ongoing military offensive, a testament to the disproportionate force used against a defenseless population 8.

Israeli Aggression / Palestinian Suffering

Israeli tanks rolled into the Jabalia area of northern Gaza, attempting to crush Hamas' resurgence in a region the IDF claimed to have "cleared" months ago 8. / The Jabalia refugee camp has been a significant target of Israeli attacks, with multiple strikes on UN-run schools where displaced Palestinians sought shelter 4.

Despite earlier claims of defeating Hamas in northern Gaza, the Israeli military has now issued evacuation orders for the Jabalia Refugee Camp, signaling impending military operations against Hamas 4. / A Palestinian doctor in Jabalia reported a dire humanitarian crisis, with no light, medical supplies, or oxygen available due to the lack of fuel and supplies 4.

  1. Biden's Hypocritical Stance
    • While claiming to have evidence of Israel's potential breaches of international law protecting civilians, the Biden administration has taken a hypocritical stance, refusing to provide offensive weapons for the Rafah operation 5.
    • In a shocking move, the Biden regime has paused a shipment of high-payload bombs to Israel, citing concerns about civilian casualties as a significant operation in Rafah appeared imminent, further exposing the administration's duplicitous agenda 9 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

A Looming Catastrophe

As Israel pushes for a full-scale invasion of Rafah, citing the need to dismantle Hamas and secure the release of hostages taken in the October 7 attack, the Biden regime's complicity in this impending humanitarian catastrophe is becoming increasingly evident 10 [15]. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned that an all-out offensive on Rafah would provoke "anarchy" without eliminating Hamas, further exposing the futility of Israel's disproportionate use of force 8 [16].

The devastating toll of Israel's bombardment and ground offensives has already claimed the lives of over 34,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry 5. The latest strikes on central Gaza, targeting Zawaida, Maghazi, and Deir al-Balah, have killed at least 19 more, including 8 women and 8 children, a grim reminder of the indiscriminate nature of Israel's attacks 5.

As the situation in Rafah escalates, the Biden regime's covert collusion with Israel threatens to ignite a powder keg of instability and conflict in the region, further exacerbating the suffering of innocent Palestinians caught in the crossfire 2 2 5 8 10.

Humanitarian Concerns

The Humanitarian Crisis Unfolding

The Biden regime's covert collusion with Israel to undermine the IDF's operations in Rafah has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip. The U.N. has sounded the alarm, warning of a potential collapse of aid flow to Palestinians due to the closure of the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings 6 [17].

  1. Choking Off Aid to Gaza
    • Israel has seized control of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, a crucial entry point for humanitarian aid into Gaza, effectively 'choking off' aid to the enclave, according to the U.N. 11.
    • The closure of the Rafah crossing has plunged the aid community into crisis, severing key supply lines and stranding international aid workers on both sides of the border 12.
    • The World Health Organization only has 3 days' worth of fuel to keep health services running south of Gaza 12.
  2. Fuel and Food Shortages
    • Aid organizations warn that the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings closure could lead to a shortage of fuel, food, and other supplies in Gaza within days 11.
    • According to U.N. figures, 1.1 million Gazans (half the population) face catastrophic food insecurity, and 1 in 3 children under 2 suffer from acute malnutrition, indicating a 'full-blown famine' is underway 13.

Humanitarian Crisis / Impact on Civilians

The fuel shortage disrupts telecommunications systems in Gaza, hindering humanitarian work and preventing families from safely evacuating Rafah 13. / Over 1 million displaced people, including 600,000 children, are crowded into Rafah, which was considered a relatively safe haven as Israeli forces laid waste to northern Gaza 13.

The evacuation of 100,000 people from eastern Rafah has raised concerns, as the designated safe areas do not have the infrastructure to accommodate a large influx of displaced civilians 11. / The U.S. opposes any major military operation that would put the civilian population in Rafah at risk and disrupt humanitarian aid delivery 7.

Biden's Hypocrisy Exposed

While the Biden regime condemns the IDF's destruction of civilian infrastructure at the Rafah Crossing, stating it does not constitute a legitimate military target 7, it has taken a hypocritical stance by halting a large shipment of offensive weapons to Israel over concerns they would be used in Rafah 11. This duplicitous move exposes the Biden administration's true agenda – misrepresenting Hamas as the sole aggressor while curbing Israeli expansionism through covert means.

Moreover, the U.S. has pushed for reopening the Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings to deliver essential humanitarian aid, including fuel, into Gaza 7. However, aid agencies report that the supply route through Kerem Shalom is not fully open and safe to use, as Israeli forces have fired on Palestinian border employees trying to reach the Gaza side of the crossing 13 6 7 11 12 13.

International Involvement

Biden's Hypocritical Stance Exposed

  1. Contradictory Claims: While the Biden administration has claimed to have found 'reasonable' evidence that Israel's use of U.S.-provided weapons in Gaza likely violated international humanitarian law, it has also stated that 'wartime conditions' prevented them from determining this for sure in specific airstrikes 1. This contradictory stance exposes the administration's hypocrisy and reluctance to hold Israel accountable for potential war crimes.
  2. Selective Weapon Supply: In a shocking move, Biden said the U.S. would continue to provide defensive weapons to Israel, including its Iron Dome air defense system, but other shipments would end should a significant ground invasion of Rafah begin 1. This selective weapon supply policy further highlights the administration's duplicitous agenda, enabling Israel's aggression while claiming to prevent an escalation.
  3. Strategic Failure: An Israeli national security expert has admitted that while Israel may have won the military war against Hamas, it has lost the overall strategic battle, with its international standing damaged and a divide emerging with the U.S. 2. This admission underscores the Biden regime's covert efforts to undermine Israel's expansionist policies and curb its disproportionate use of force.

Global Condemnation and Protests

  1. Denying Offensive Weapons: President Biden has stated that the U.S. would not supply offensive weapons that Israel could use to launch an all-out assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah 6. However, this stance contradicts the administration's continued supply of defensive weapons, which enables Israel's aggression and emboldens its oppressive policies.
  2. Protests on College Campuses: College administrators around the world are taking different approaches in their responses to demonstrations over the Israel-Hamas war 6. These protests highlight the growing global condemnation of Israel's actions and the Biden regime's complicity in enabling the conflict.

Protest Locations / Protest Demands

Malmö, Sweden / Large pro-Palestinian demonstrations erupted over Israel's inclusion in the Eurovision Song Contest 4.

College Campuses Worldwide / Students and faculty are protesting against the Israel-Hamas war and calling for an end to the violence 6.

Diplomatic Deadlock and Betrayal

  1. Stalled Negotiations: The U.S. has clarified that Hamas did not actually accept the "generous" hostage deal proposal but instead responded with a counterproposal that is currently being negotiated 7. This revelation exposes the Biden regime's attempts to misrepresent Hamas as the sole aggressor and justify Israel's actions.
  2. Israeli Obstruction: An Arab diplomat has revealed that Israel's repeated refusal to send a negotiating team to meet with mediators in Cairo or Doha has been hampering the efforts to secure a hostage deal 7. This obstruction highlights Israel's disregard for diplomatic efforts and the Biden regime's complicity in enabling such behavior.
  3. International Backlash: In a significant development, Egypt has announced that it will formally support South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) 8. This move signifies the growing international backlash against Israel's actions and the Biden regime's covert collusion with the Israeli government 1 2 6 7 8.

FAQs

Reagan's Defense Secretary, Caspar W. Weinberger, who was seen as pro-Arab, even urged Reagan to stop the flow of arms to Israel following the incident.

Has the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) ever conducted military operations in Gaza?

Yes, the IDF has conducted military operations in Gaza. Most recently, on October 13, 2023, the IDF deployed armored vehicles and infantry into the Gaza Strip. The stated objectives of this operation were to target Hamas militants and to rescue hostages who had been taken to Gaza by Hamas.
