Where's the lie?

I think he endorsed a ceasefire but then immediately expressed he didn't think Hamas would respect a ceasefire.

So one step forward, one step back. Not much better. Not great. But I dont expect the over 70 crowd to navigate these waters very well.

Fetterman is the far more disappointing Senator on this topic.

I'm willing to bet that he'd navigate these waters just fine if Trump was president.

That's what Trump does. He sharpens the contradictions and makes it obvious to everyone. Biden does everything possible to muddy the waters and make the issue seem more complicated than it actually is, but Trump never bothers masking his intentions like that.

Maybe so. Though the reality isn't that Trump is president.

And I am not sure anyone knows for sure how a 2nd term Trump would be acting right now. I mean hell, Trump kind of criticized Israel and said Hezbollah was making a smart move recently, so hey, wild card factor would be without much masking.

Not sure I'd have much expection for the geriatric leaders regardless of president, still.

I'm almost certain Trump criticized Netanyahu because Biden supports him lol

You know that is plausible, but it could also be Trump has a personal issue with Netanyahu, which also tracks for him, if not more so.
