Palestinians Threaten to Attack US Troops

  • [The Palestinians] seem confident that if the Biden administration is rewarding them for malign behavior, it is clearly working, so why not keep it up?

  • The Palestinians are hoping to scare the Americans and prevent them from cooperating with Israel on the future of the Gaza Strip after the war.

  • The Biden administration did not, it seems, even demand that, in return for the humanitarian aid, the hostages be released or that the terrorists stop launching rockets into Israel.

  • Apparently, the Biden administration did not even request assurances that the aid would not be seized and diverted by the terrorists.

  • Hamas has earned at least $500 million from the aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war in October 2023, according Ehud Yaari, an Israeli expert on Arab and Palestinian affairs.

  • [The Palestinians] consider the presence of US troops in the region as another form of "occupation" and an unwelcome intervention in the internal affairs of the Arabs in the Middle East.

  • As long as supplies are getting into the Gaza Strip, Hamas will not stop fighting or free the hostages.

  • Because of the Gaza pier, the Biden administration has made it immensely harder to free the hostages and end the war.
