BREAKING NEWS BIDEN’S ULTIMATUM NETANYAHU WARNED!
April 5, 2024It is believed US President, Joe Biden’s phone call with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, came with a clear ultimatum.
According to a report published in Politico, an online authoritative political media platform, in a 30-minute conversation with his Israeli counterpart, Biden stated that America’s patience had already run thin, but officially ran out after the Israeli military killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, this week. It was high time to improve the dire situation in Gaza, the president said, where U.S. officials warn 2.2 million Palestinians are hungry and increasingly desperate.
The Politico report continued: “To do that, Biden directly requested that Israel open the Erez land crossing into Gaza, open the Ashdod port and allow for more aid trucks to enter from Jordan, among other demands. Israel did all three within hours of the conversation.”
According to a White House readout of the call it said. “He (Biden) made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers. He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.â€_x009d_
The readout resembled a sharp public warning from the president. It is as close as Biden has come to saying he would condition aid to Israel since the war began. And it also left the impression that the White House views Netanyahu individually as an obstacle to a ceasefire. The statement said Biden urged the Israeli prime minister to “empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay.â€_x009d_
The sternest part of the conversation was when Biden urged Netanyahu to empower his negotiators to broker a six-week cease-fire that would see around hostages returned and the humanitarian crisis improved.
WE WAIT TO SEE HOW SERIOUSLY ISRAEL WILL TAKE THIS WARNING!

English Script:
ABC’s Male anchor: The US president, Joe Biden, has suggested to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that America’s support for Israel depends on the action Israel takes to reduce civilian suffering in Gaza. The ultimatum came with the first phone call between the leaders since that Israeli airstrike killed seven aid workers on Monday. North America correspondent Barbara Miller joins us now from Washington. Barbara, good morning. So what do we know so far about the call between these two leaders?
Barbara Miller: Well, it sounds like it was a pretty frank and possibly tense call. we hear from the white House that Joe Biden said that the killing of those seven aid workers, including an Australian, was unacceptable. And Joe Biden told Benjamin Netanyahu that he had to announce and implement concrete steps to ensure the safety of aid workers in Gaza and to alleviate civilian harm and suffering there.
Now, a read-out of this call says that Joe Biden made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps. So some really strongly worded language there from the white House suggesting a significant shift that it’s issuing what sounds like a threat to Israel. Now, it was the job of national security spokesman John Kirby to kind of decode that in a media briefing.
And he was really pressed on, what is the white House saying here? Is it saying that it would consider for example, cutting off the substantial U.S. military aid that flows into Israel? John Kirby would not be drawn on any specifics. He said that the US still stood by, was ironclad in its support of Israel’s right to defend itself.
But the way in which Israel is defending itself against Hamas, he said, has to change. He talked about growing frustration in the white House with the way that Israel is carrying out its war in Gaza. And of course, we heard earlier in the week that Joe Biden was outraged at the killing of these workers from World Central Kitchen.
Now, John Kirby was asked again and again as to what exactly might change in terms of policy. He would not go into that, but he did indicate that the US is looking for action in the coming hours and days.
John Kirby: It’s not just about the announcement of concrete steps and changes in their policies, but it’s the execution of those announcements and those decisions and implementing them.
And so we’ll we obviously will we’ll watch closely and monitor how, how they do on the commitments that they make. And as, as I said earlier, if there’s no changes to their policy and their approaches, then there’s going to have to be changes to ours.
