In a recent turn of events, President Joe Biden has apparently caved in under the pressure from pro-Palestinian advocates, expressing regret for daring to question the validity of the death toll reported by the terrorist organization, Hamas. During a meeting with five Muslim American leaders, Biden admitted to being “disappointed” in himself, backtracking on his earlier comments regarding the number of casualties in Gaza.
The President’s change of heart followed his public skepticism of Hamas’ claims during a press conference on October 25th. Biden boldly stated that he had “no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth” about the death toll and suggested that innocent lives lost were simply a consequence of waging war.
? JUST IN: Joe Biden is being forced to apologize to the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat party after he made comments last week slamming the Hamas terrorist group.
“I’m sorry. I’m disappointed in myself.”

However, it seems that Biden folded like a lawn chair under the impassioned pleas of the Muslim American leaders, as he professed his regret and offered apologies for his previous stance. To top it all off, he even went so far as to embrace the leaders in what can only be described as a display of submission to their demands.
The struggle between supporting Israel and appeasing the radical leftists within his own party has placed Biden in a politically precarious position. As pressure mounts for a ceasefire and greater scrutiny on Israel’s efforts to combat Hamas, President Biden finds himself at a crossroads. Prominent figures within his party, such as Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, have adamantly refused to denounce Hamas’s initial attack or their antisemitic rhetoric, with Tlaib even facing congressional censure for her past inflammatory remarks.
In light of these developments, President Biden must carefully navigate the delicate balance between supporting our ally, Israel, and placating the vocal forces within his party who seem more eager to condemn Israel than confront the true instigators of the conflict. Only time will tell how Biden’s wavering stance on this issue will impact his presidency and the United States’ relationship with Israel.
