US President Joe Biden seems to be oblivious to his surroundings and tells the world that he believes is necessary for "Israel" as it pursues its genocidal war on Gaza.

In an interview for The New Yorker published on Monday, US President Joe Biden seems to be oblivious to his surroundings as he tells the world that he believes "Israel" has to "give this just a little bit of time" exactly as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 30,534 lives martyred by the US-funded brutal genocide in Gaza. 

Biden tried to justify "Israel's" crimes by saying that "the pressure on the [Israeli] leadership to move with every ounce of capacity against Hamas is real."

However, in a glimpse of fake hope Biden has been injecting into the public, he alleged that "I think you’re going to see—I’m praying you’re going to see—a significant downturn in the use of force."

Still, with that being said, Biden claims, "I don’t want to see any Palestinians killed—I think that it’s contrary to what we believe as Americans," but how is that even possible while knowing, clear as day, that the billions of dollars supplied to "Israel" are being used to murder thousands of women and children in Gaza under the guise of "Hamas shields"?

Even more contrary to what he said, the US has also been vetoing every resolution in the United Nations Security Council that calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.

According to Biden, though, he believes as he eats ice cream on TV, while the children of Gaza starve, that he hopes a ceasefire will come into effect by next Monday, which coincides with the start of the Holy month of Ramadan.

This follows a statement by the US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood who claimed on Monday that the US remains committed to working "constructively" on the latest US-drafted resolution on Gaza in the coming days. 

"We remain committed to engage constructively on our resolution in the days to come," Wood said, adding that he and his team will work through all channels to speed up the delivery of aid for residents of the Gaza Strip. 

The US, Qatar, Egypt, and "Israel" have been holding frequent meetings since the start of the year, working on an exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance. 

Though progress has been described as slow, Resistance sources said that "the possibility of reaching an agreement is still viable," while insisting on their major demands. 

The source added, "The policy of starvation practiced by the occupation against civilians will not achieve any significant accomplishment, and the battle will continue until the blockade is lifted and aid is allowed into Gaza."

The commander pointed out that "the dropping of aid from US aircraft is a drop in the ocean [of Gaza's needs] and does not contribute to alleviating the severe humanitarian crisis in the Strip."

Hamas has recently suggested that Russia acts as a mediator in resolving the war on Gaza, counterbalancing the US and “Israel”.
