Former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz and retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer told Newsmax Tuesday that it is "horrific" that President Joe Biden is "trying to sandbag" Israel in an effort to help his administration win reelection in November.
"You have to give Netanyahu credit for listening to the United States, taking the phone call from Biden," Fleitz said during an appearance on Newsmax's "American Agenda." "I'm sure Biden chewed him out on the war, demanding a cease-fire immediately. Well, look, Netanyahu is not going to let Joe Biden dictate how he defends his country to help get Biden reelected. But you know, on a related point, we see Hamas not willing to negotiate on a cease-fire.
Shaffer said that "there is no diplomacy" and "the pressure is completely on the Israeli state to do something to stop responding as it is legitimately able to do to go after Hamas." "So, for better or for worse, Biden is trying to bring those people back into the ranks of the Democrat Party for purposes of victory in November," he said. "I think it's horrific that you see a party, the Democrat Party, trying to sandbag an ally based on what they believe will be productive for them politically in November. It's horrific."
