The US has been effectively urging "Israel" to expedite their aggression on the strip to avoid prolonged conflict, fearing it could detrimentally affect Biden's pre-election position, as noted by the SVR.

TASS news agency reported on Monday, citing a report obtained from the press office of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Services (SVR), that the US has been pressuring "Israel" to accelerate its genocidal campaign in Gaza in order to avert consequences to US President Joe Biden's pre-election standing or ratings.

The SVR highlighted Washington's concern over the indiscriminate nature of airstrikes hitting hospitals and refugee camps in Gaza and the effects of such actions on its image. At the same time, the office noted that various representatives from the US State Department and Defense Department are advocating for a ceasefire.

However, a contrary reality unfolds in private conversations between US officials and the Israeli leadership. The US has been effectively urging "Israel" to expedite their aggression on the strip to avoid prolonged conflict, fearing it could detrimentally affect Biden's pre-election position, as noted by the SVR.

The SVR's press office mentioned that the US administration is once again resorting to what they call 'pharisaism,' against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Gaza.

Additionally, the SVR emphasized the US' acknowledgment that efforts to eliminate Hamas could result in a 'significant number' of civilian casualties. Despite this recognition, the White House deems this collateral acceptable and insists it won't jeopardize support for "Tel Aviv". The primary focus is on swiftly concluding military actions in Gaza, the department indicated.

Additionally, the SVR highlighted the fact that the US, backed by the support of the UK and Germany, "intends to obstruct initiatives aimed at a ceasefire in Gaza."

"Evidently, this is the kind of order based on US principles that Washington wants to enforce unto the rest of the world," the SVR's report concludes.

The US has for weeks been claiming that it is struggling to influence Israeli policy, but several reports have revealed otherwise - instead showing that the Biden administration is complicit in Israeli war crimes.

For instance, a report by the Wall Street Journal revealed a week ago that the Biden administration is preparing a significant $320 million transfer of precision bombs for "Israel."

Another report by the New York Times issued on November 5 revealed that the US requested "Israel" to use 'smaller bombs' in its genocidal campaign. 

The US' reputation has been so tarnished by Israeli war crimes that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's efforts to mend the damage have likened him to a salesman. 

The US was warned 

A report by CNN last Friday said that the White House was warned multiple times via diplomatic cables that US support for "Israel" would inevitably result in backlash on the part of Arab countries. 

The deputy chief of mission for the United States in Oman, as detailed in a cable obtained by CNN, expressed concern that the US is faring poorly in the realm of messaging battles, based on discussions with "a wide range of trusted and sober-minded contacts."

The official emphasized that backing "Israel's" lethal actions in Gaza "is losing us Arab publics for a generation," viewing it as both "material and moral culpability in what they consider to be possible war crimes."
