    The article links to a video where Harris states: “the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done.” here.

      And where is the evidence to refute that? In the article, every complaint from the staffers that were published refer to Netanyahu being the one holding shit up. Transcribe where the staffers said Biden wasn’t working around the clock. It’s not there.

        Here’s an article from Times of Israel corroborating the claims:

        https://www.timesofisrael.com/top-biden-aide-israel-missed-opportunity-for-saudi-deal-hopefully-it-wont-do-so-again/

        “God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted,” the former Israeli ambassador said.

        Emphasis mine

          What claims? Again that article describes Biden and the admin of being frustrated with Netanyahu and some of his ministers. It also lays out how Biden and the admin were trying to negotiate and create pressure to force Netanyahu out through elections.

          You have one quote from one former ambassador with no supporting evidence.

          Even that would indicate that there was no ultimatum of “ceasefire or else” given, but still leaves open the “hey this is a bad idea and you’re only going to cause death and genocide and force more people to support your opposition”.

              It wouldn’t be “using every option available” but that doesn’t equal “working tirelessly”.

              Words matter especially in this era of misusing words to pretend something else is occurring.
