President Biden recently expressed uncertainty regarding whether Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza. This statement comes amidst growing frustration within the administration over Israel's military actions. While Biden did not definitively accuse Israel of war crimes, he did acknowledge the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza due to the conflict.
In a Time magazine interview, Biden also criticized the International Criminal Court's move to seek arrest warrants against Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The President emphasized that the U.S. does not recognize the ICC and raised concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Biden's comments were made just before outlining a three-phase proposal aimed at securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza. The President urged Israel to end the conflict and highlighted the impact of Hamas' actions on the civilian population.
Furthermore, Biden took a strong stance against former President Donald Trump during a recent fundraiser. He referred to Trump as a convicted felon and warned about the dangers of a potential second Trump term. Biden accused Trump of attempting to undermine the American system and seeking revenge through his political actions.
As Biden prepares for a debate against Trump and potentially future campaign rallies, his remarks at the fundraiser signal a shift towards more direct criticism of his predecessor. The President aims to portray Trump as unfit for office and highlight the risks associated with a continuation of his presidency.
