President Joe Biden warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the U.S. will not take part in a counter-offensive against Iran, an option that Netanyahu’s war cabinet favors after a mass drone and missile attack on Israeli territory, according to officials.
The threat of open warfare erupting between the arch Middle East foes and dragging in the United States has put the region on edge, triggering calls for restraint from global powers and Arab nations to avoid further escalation.
The U.S. will continue to help Israel defend itself but does not want war, John Kirby, the White House’s top national security spokesperson, told ABC’s “This Week” program on Sunday.
Jordan’s King Abdullah told Biden in a phone call on Sunday that any further escalation from Israel would widen the conflict in the region, Jordanian state media reported.
And when they violate that agreement will we do anything about it? No, we won’t, not with Israel. They’re just meaningless platitudes with the Israelis.
(Saudi Arabia killed ~400k yemeni’s with our “defensive weapons”)
I never said the Saudis followed through with their end of that either. Just that the Israelis would not follow through with that and repercussions wouldn’t happen if they didn’t.
I believe that is they point they are also making.
My point was you missed my sarcasm.
