Biden called Netanyahu today to tell him not to go into Rafah to avoid a collapse of hostage negotiations. Israel just rescued two hostages in Rafah. This is the moment for Biden and his team - and every mainstream media outlet carrying their water - to take a big step back.

For those who need a one-week refresher: The Gaza Health Ministry is actually Hamas. The hospitals are Hamas. The UN is pro-Hamas with UN employees who hold hostages. Hamas uses human shields. Qatar is a sponsor of Hamas. Egypt won’t let people leave Gaza. Got it?

Can you imagine the President of the United States waiving sanctions and allowing money to flow to the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism while the Department of Justice announces that same regime tried to kidnap a US journalist out of New York City? It's happening folks.

One might ask why the US doesn't put forward a different Security Council resolution each week calling for Hamas to surrender, condemning Hamas war crimes, imposing UN sanctions on Hamas, etc. and forcing Russia or China to veto. Why must we always be playing defense at the UN?

Can you imagine 100 ballistic missiles being fired on the United States and your closest ally calling to say, no need to retaliate, you should feel really secure right now? Now imagine our country was the size of New Jersey. And we were fighting a seven-front war of survival.

Can’t yet assess the impact of the targets hit tonight, or if it will be effective in changing the ayatollah’s risk calculus, but there is a pretty clear message in here: The IAF can, in fact, reach out and say hello whenever it wants.

It’s quite something for an American administration to respond to a state sponsor of terrorism’s threats against American citizens with zero condemnation and/or vow of consequences for such action, but instead with offers of cash to fund the terrorism.

The US needs a special envoy to the Iranian people, not a special envoy to their oppressors. The latter is what we have today. If the State Department is serious that its focus is no longer on a nuclear deal but instead on supporting the people, it’s time to replace Rob Malley.

American soldiers are dead because of Biden policy on Iran. There is no way of sugar coating it. It’s been appeasement at all cost. And now our finest pay that cost in blood. May God comfort the families. May Congress finally end this policy of appeasement in every way possible.

As Israel's air defense goes on maximum alert for a potential Iran-directed attack, let us remember the White House is subsidizing Iran's budget with a $10 billion sanctions waiver and non-enforcement of oil sanctions.

Iran’s president today pledged a new final solution for the Jews: “From the river to the sea.” When you hear someone chanting it, let the world know what it means. It means the final solution. The annihilation of the Jews. Not my words. The words of Iran’s president.

What are they even talking about? This is about a US journalist that Iran was going to kidnap off US soil. Have they lost their minds? How desperate can you be to save a flawed nuclear deal that kidnapping Americans is just some law enforcement matter of no concern to State?

The lack of a deterrence message toward Iran right now is alarming. We need to see a very strong White House statement tonight, and confirmation of warnings passed to Iran. Most (including me) would usually classify the idea of a direct ballistic missile or cruise missile attack…

Can someone help me understand the Biden position on snapback? He thinks the arms embargo on Iran should expire? He wants Iran importing weapons from China and Russia? He wants to go back into the JCPOA, which means the arms embargo expires & Iran gets billions of dollars too?

UNRWA employs Hamas terrorists. Complicit in holding hostages, storing weapons. Really unbelievable.

CBS News just directed people to give money to UNRWA, the terrorist supporting organization that runs schools that Hamas uses for terrorism centers. FACTS: The headmaster of an UNRWA school was a terrorist and UNRWA teachers celebrated Hamas's Oct 7 massacre of Israelis.
