Biden and his cronies do not treat Israel as a sovereign nation. The Biden administration’s anti-Israel provocations and continuous meddling are beyond the pale.
Smotrich’s plan regarding the Palestinian Authority banks is rooted in opposing the Palestinian Authority’s push for unilateral statehood and its legal campaign against Israel. The PA also aims to annihilate Israel “from the River to the Sea.” One must also remember that in the eyes of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League, “Palestine” is already a state. So since when do Islamic supremacists care about what infidels think? Of course they don’t, so this disingenuous quest for statehood is part and parcel of promoting propaganda against the state of Israel, attempting to isolate it and delegitimize it, with the ultimate goal of obliterating it. Western leaders are being goaded. Some are willfully blind, and others are just plain antisemitic.
Smotrich has stated:
the PA “draws encouragement and legitimacy for its actions from the Biden administration’s turning its back on Israel in legal contexts through the imposition of sanctions on the settlers, and apparently also on the IDF, as well as from the harsh tones of the leaders of European countries against Israel in the context of the war in Gaza.”
Smotrich is correct, as America under Biden continues to play cruel games with Israel during a worst possible time, pretending to be a friend one moment while betraying it the next.
Smotrich has also stated that “unilateral measures will be met with unilateral measures.”
“Yellen vows to stop Israel from cutting off PA banks from financial system,” JNS News, May 23, 2024:
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen vowed on Thursday to use “all diplomatic efforts” to thwart Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s plans to cut Palestinian Authority banks off from the Jewish state’s financial system.
“I’m particularly concerned by Israel’s threats to take action that would lead to Palestinian banks being cut off from their Israeli correspondent banks,” she said in prepared remarks at a press conference ahead of the G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting in Stresa, a resort town on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy.
“These banking channels are critical for processing transactions that enable almost $8 billion a year in imports from Israel, including electricity, water, fuel and food, as well as facilitating almost $2 billion a year in exports on which Palestinian livelihoods depend,” Yellen continued.….

Please stop meddling, Yellen. It’s damaging the free world economy and helping US enemies. Learn from the past mistakes of unintended consequences.

The yeller is an old busybody, know-nothing know-it-all, interfering in the business of a nation at war for its very survival, against all odds, against the entire world.
Why should Israel allow its mortal enemies, out to destroy the Jews, have any ‘banking’ through their system?
The so-called palestinains want to be an independent nation, so let them survive without reliance on Israel for everything. Let them demonstrate their ability to be self-sufficient.

“Rashida Tlaib Pressures Biden to Give Israel a ‘Red Line'”
One of her staff members assaulted a FOX reporter with an umbrella.
Congress should give tlaib a ‘red-line.’ she has already crossed it.
“Representative Rashida Tlaib pressured President Joe Biden to give Israel a “red line” on Friday after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague ordered the country to halt its military operation in Rafah.
The ICJ issued several directives to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday including reopening the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, grant investigators access to the Gaza strip and to provide a progress report to the court within a month on implementing these measures. The demands come amid concerns about the growing number of Palestinian civilian deaths in Israel’s offensive.”

Biden picked the dumbest people to help him administer the country. I am, as an American, truly appalled and embarrassed.
Westman says
This should get interesting. Egypt has already said it doesn’t want the border open. Yellen must have some leverage with El-Sissi – CIA obtained dirt?

“I will bless those that bless thee and curse those that curse thee.” The Western World believes in Hegel, Marx, Freud et al and NOT what was proclaimed by The Most High. Islam absolutely DENIES the Word of God entirely.
OLD GUY says
Where in the hell did our political leaders find this idiot. I guess if you donate enough money to the political parties it insures you a political appointment to a position of incompetence.
