Biden Won’t Support Netanyahu, Israel with Counterattack Against Iran Reportedly in the Works – ‘Take the Win’

As Israel emerged largely unscathed from a blitz of Iranian drones and missiles, President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the U.S. position on an Israeli response.

Biden told Netanyahu in a Saturday phone call that the U.S. would not participate in and does not support an Israeli retaliation against the first-ever attack on Israel launched from Iranian soil, according to Axios.

“You got a win. Take the win,” Biden said, according to a source Axios identified only as a “senior White House official.”

The official said Netanyahu told Biden he understood the U.S. president’s position.

In summing up the attack, The New York Times reported that almost all of the more than 300 missiles and drones fired on Israel were intercepted meant damage was light, though Iran crossed a red line “by firing weapons from Iranian territory into Israeli territory.

“Had defenses not held, scores or hundreds could have been killed,” the Times reported.

Iran said its response ends its retaliation for the deaths of seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers killed in an April attack on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria. Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for that attack, though it’s widely blamed.

Should Biden stand with Israel?

“The matter can be deemed concluded,” the Iranian Mission to the United Nations said in a statement published on X on Saturday evening.“However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!”

Israel’s Channel 12 TV said an Israel official it did not name said the country is planning a “significant response” to the attack, according to the Times of Israel.

Iran blustered a dare in Israel’s direction.

“If the Zionist regime (Israel) or its supporters demonstrate reckless behavior, they will receive a decisive and much stronger response,” Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi said, according to the Times of Israel.

The Israel Defense Forces said more than 99 percent of the weapons sent its way were downed, the Times of Israel reported.

IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said an air force base in southern Israel sustained light damage.

Hagari said a young girl in the Negev region of Israel was injured when she was hit with shrapnel from an interception, according to the Times of Israel.

The coalition intercepting missiles and drones includes the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom and Jordan, according to The Washington Post.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
