During the Trump administration, the world experienced an unprecedented period of peace, made possible in large part by the then-president’s ability to help broker the Abraham Accords among multiple Middle Eastern nations.
Since Joe Biden took office, however, most of those gains have been squandered and missteps throughout the region have increased tensions across the Middle East and beyond.
Most recently, Biden announced that he’d be cutting off aid to Israel if that nation took steps to fight Hamas terrorists in the Palestinian city of Rafah.
As Fox News reported:
President Biden is vowing to withhold weapons from Israel if the Jewish State goes forward with its invasion of Rafah, Hamas’ last stronghold in Gaza.
“Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett in an interview released Wednesday.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said.
The news sparked widespread debate on social media this week:

The predictable results of Biden's disgusting weapons cut-off threat:
1. Hamas refuses any deal. The hostages, including Americans, remain. Hamas knows they've got Biden on their side.
2. Israel MUST go into Rafah because of (1).
3. Biden is cutting off targeted munitions, which…— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 9, 2024

Perhaps the most scathing rebuke came from Donald Trump himself, as reported by the Daily Wire:
Trump, whose unique view of the Middle East among presidents was responsible for the historic Abraham Accords that were a major breakthrough in the region, slammed Biden on Truth Social, writing:
Crooked Joe Biden, whether he knows it or not, just said he will withhold weapons from Israel as they fight to eradicate Hamas Terrorists in Gaza. Hamas murdered thousands of innocent civilians, including babies, and are still holding Americans hostage, if the hostages are still alive. Yet Crooked Joe is taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses, because his donors are funding them. Biden is weak, corrupt, and leading the world straight into World War III. Remember – this war in Israel, just like the war in Ukraine, would have NEVER started if I was in the White House. But very soon, we will be back, and once again demanding PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!
Here’s a clip of Biden’s recent remarks:
