    There’s no logical reason for Biden to be saying this.

    Israel said it’s not happening and Hamas hasn’t responded.

    Biden is either lying for good press to make it sound like he’s doing stuff behind the scenes, or so far gone he believes it.

      You’re ignoring Option 3: he has access to information none of us do. However cynical one might be, that is a plausible option, and you can’t ignore it and claim it’s illogical to say what he said.

      Only time will reveal if his statement is justified.

        he has access to information none of us do.

        Such as who’s sending the weapons and funding for the genocide while pretending in public statements to working for peace?

        Oh wait, we DO all know that that’s the Biden administration! Hell, Biden himself bypassed standard procedure to EXPEDITE arms shipments to Israel twice in December alone!

        Until he stops sending the bombs and the money used to commit the atrocities, he deserves NO credit for his tepid public statements about the extremely remote possibility of a ceasefire. None whatsoever.

          Bruh, congratulations on taking a point about being rational and intellectually honest and turning it into your own personal, irrelevant soapbox. Well done.

            Yeah, because doing your damndest to make sure that the Israeli government gets weapons and funding with which to commit genocide while publicly pretending to be the voice of moderation is REALLY intellectually honest and not at all relevant to whether or not he has any credibility on the matter!

            Do you actually work for the pr team of the White House or are you arguing in bad faith for free?
