The Biden regime on X urged Israel not to defend itself against Hamas jihadists on Saturday before quickly deleting the post.
Rather than issue a statement himself, Biden’s Office of Palestinian Affairs posted a statement that said, “We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
That post was soon deleted.
The bizarre statement prompted major backlash from conservatives on X.
“This is disgraceful and every single person involved in drafting and approving this tweet should be immediately expelled from the U.S. government,” Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) said.

We cannot conflate terrorists targeting Israeli civilians and our greatest ally in the region defending itself.

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) also slammed Biden’s “wrongheaded” response to Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel.
“Shamefully, the Biden administration’s first instinct in responding to this unfolding atrocity was to call for Israeli restraint, as innocent Israelis were being kidnapped, murdered, and paraded through the streets. It was a statement so disastrously wrongheaded that the office that issued it was forced to delete it,” the RJC wrote.

This comes on top of condemnation the Biden regime has been receiving over its decision to release $6 billion in funding to Iran – Hamas’ top financial backer – last month.
“Sadly, American taxpayer dollars helped fund these attacks, which many reports are saying came from the Biden Administration. We brought so much peace to the Middle East through the Abraham Accords, only to see Biden whittle it away at a far more rapid pace than anyone thought possible. Here we go again,” former President Donald Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social.
