President Joe Biden siding with Islamic terrorists by demanding an immediate ceasefire by Israel at the threat of withholding American support is a drastic sea change in US Middle East policy that moves the end time prophecy clock ahead. The Biden threat gives the Hamas terrorist organization and its allies supported by Iran an upper hand in negotiating any hostage release. Moreover, it signals to the terrorist enemies of Israel that terrorism works and propaganda about humanitarianism takes precedence over the stated mission of wiping Israel from the face of the earth. This is nothing short of an apocalyptic event and a very public demonstration of worldwide anti-Israel sentiment.
Biden had a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The White House released a statement which, in part read that Biden, “underscored that an immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians, and he urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home. The two leaders also discussed public Iranian threats against Israel and the Israeli people. President Biden made clear that the United States strongly supports Israel in the face of those threats.” The win for Hamas here is that Biden is demanding an Israeli ceasefire, without any demands on Hamas. Hamas terrorists use ceasefires to rebuild their ranks and negotiate the release of known terrorists from Israeli prison.
While Biden is decrying Israel’s lack of humanitarianism in prosecuting its war against Hamas, he is apparently ignoring how Hamas strategically places its terrorist forces and weapons in schools, hospitals, and populated civilian areas. Hamas intentionally wants to drive up civilian casualties to illicit emotional humanitarian support to end Israeli self defense efforts. Then the world forces Israel to cease hostilities. The terrorists rebuild and replenish their ranks by negotiating release of terrorists from Israeli prison, and the cycle starts all over again. The difference with this situation is that an American president is threatening support for Israel and his National Security Advisor is making statements claiming that it’s difficult to distinguish Israel from Hamas. Let there be clarity—there is no moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel.
What Biden is doing is memorializing the Obama Middle East policy of advancing radical Islam. His recent actions embolden Israel’s enemies, which are both traditional and biblical. Biden wants Israel to cease military actions against a terrorist organization that, in line with Iran, wants to eradicate Israel and Jews. This signals to Israeli enemies that America no longer has the will to support Israel. This showing of weakness endangers both Israelis and Americans. It opens the door for advancing end time prophecy such as what is found in Zechariah 12:9 where the LORD says, “I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” Biden is signaling to end time players like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Libya that he will bend to the terrorist enemies of Israel rather than do what is right and just. This is not a good sign for America.
