| First Israeli American Released by Hamas – Biden Takes Much Needed Victory Lap |
| 2023-11-27 |
| [Refuge] While it is good news, excellent news, the Israeli and foreign ’hostages’ are slowly being released by Hamas, the politics of the dynamic are abundantly clear. Biden was under extreme political pressure to gain the release of "American" hostages held captive by Hamas and affiliates in Gaza as a result of the October 7th attack and kidnappings. Prior to Joe Biden taking a victory lap for the release of 4-year-old Abigail Mor Edan, an Israeli-American dual citizen, all of the key players in the region made advanced notification of the impending release. Biden: "I can smell her from here!" The background effort is also very clear. The aligned interests of the Muslim Brotherhood and the U.S. Biden administration is to maintain a gauntlet approach where the two-state solution is the only option for Israel, backing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into a corner. Qatari [think Muslim Brotherhood] Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani told Face the Nation the release was imminent. U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan also made the same prediction, as did several people associated with Gaza relief efforts and the larger agenda to create the two-state solution for Palestinian and Israeli citizens. In essence, politically Biden needed an American release, and that message was the driving force from Qatar to their allies in Hamas. Abigail Mor Edan was released as a result. Biden immediately took a victory lap. BLUF: Once you understand this dynamic, then you are able to see what happens in the background and how it aligns with the interests of the group. Blunting any effort by the Israelis in the war against Hamas becomes a matter of taking steps that make it more difficult for the international community to support the Israeli side of the war against Hamas. Who are the people really driving this narrative and foreign policy effort? The Obama crew. Emphasis at the last para added. |

| #3 Can you imagine the press coverage if President Trump had left all these American hostages at the mercy of Hamas for all these weeks? Of course, for some unfathomable reason, this just did not happen during the Trump Presidency. Odd. |

| #1 Looks like our international restive is south of Thailand and the Philippines. Hopefully the lap doesn’t include a bike or stairs. |
