President Joe Biden embarked on a trip to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but it seems like he was just checked in physically but not mentally! The 80-year-old president stumbled through his visit, leaving many wondering if he had made any impact at all.
Biden Mumbles Through His Israel Visit, Fails to Secure Release of American Hostages From Hamas

During his conversation with Netanyahu, Biden showcased his signature forgetfulness and lack of coherence. He slouched in his chair, relying on a notecard to read from. It was clear that he was relying heavily on his aides for guidance, unable to articulate his own thoughts and ideas.
This sums up Biden's presidency;
"I asked the secretary of state when he and I were in the Senate to write something for me and he wrote a line that is appropriate. 'It's not we lead, it's not just…' Well, I won't go into it, I'll wait 'til later."pic.twitter.com/72TQQBCzoC

Rather than addressing the pressing issue of the war between Israel and Hamas, Biden rambled about a speech that was supposedly written for him by Secretary of State Antony Blinken. It was nothing more than an attempt to divert attention from his lack of preparedness and engagement with the real issues at hand.
Not only did Biden fail to demonstrate strength and resilience on the global stage against terrorist countries, but his visit also turned out to be a failed publicity stunt. The only significant outcome was his promise to provide $100 million to Hamas-controlled Gaza and the corrupt leaders in the West Bank. It is outrageous that he would support these hostile entities instead of prioritizing the safety of American citizens.
Surprisingly, Biden barely mentioned the American citizens who have been kidnapped by Hamas. Instead of making any tangible efforts to secure their release, he simply hightailed it out of the Middle East after only a few hours. This kind of weak leadership does not inspire confidence in Israel or any other ally who is in desperate need of support against these terrorist organizations.
Throughout his presidency, Biden has consistently demonstrated his inability to effectively respond to global events. While he claims to be a “wartime” president, his track record speaks otherwise. The Ukraine/Russia conflict, the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, and now the Hamas attacks on Israel have all exposed his weakness. It’s a shame that his attempts at promoting peace and deterring aggression have continuously fallen flat.
Although his visit to Israel may have temporarily appeased some Democrats who were sympathizing with Hamas, it will take more than a brief visit and hollow statements of support to prove that Biden genuinely stands with the people of Israel. On the same day as his visit, he allowed sanctions on Iran’s missile program to expire and unfroze $6 billion for Tehran. These actions only encourage the very countries that pose a threat to Israel’s security.
To add insult to injury, a Biden Administration aide recently posted social media content glorifying the heinous attacks on Israel. This individual shamelessly shared images of Hamas terrorists parachuting into Israel with guns in hand. It is unacceptable that someone within the administration would support and promote such violence.
Overall, Biden’s visit to Israel was nothing short of a disaster. Instead of providing strong leadership, he stumbled, mumbled, and failed to make any meaningful impact. It’s clear that his weak and indecisive approach does not bode well for the safety and security of Israel or any other ally.
