Great satan tells little satan US ‘fully in support’ of Israeli ground invasion of Gaza: Report

Zionist US President Joe Biden has reportedly told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington is “fully in support” of Tel Aviv’s plans to launch a ground invasion of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Biden visited Tel Aviv on Wednesday amid an intensified Israeli campaign of airstrikes on Gaza, the most densely-populated strip of land in the world, which has killed at least 3,500 Palestinians and injured over 13,000.

“In our meeting today we agreed on a set of actions and steps that make sure we can continue the war,” Netanyahu said in a statement Wednesday after meeting Biden.

“We agreed on cooperation that will change the equation on all the fronts and will help us achieve our goals in the war,” he added.

The Times of London reported that Biden offered Netanyahu his “private backing” to press ahead with a plan to send troops for a ground invasion of Gaza, according to accounts of their private meeting.

The US president promised to ask Congress for an “unprecedented” military aid package for Israel to assist its ongoing war on Gaza.

Reports indicated that Biden was considering a supplemental request of about $10 billion for Israel. He is expected to deliver an address from the Oval Office on Thursday evening to make the case for new funding for aid to the Israeli regime as well as Ukraine.

During his meeting with Netanyahu and in subsequent discussions with members of Israel’s war cabinet, Biden expressed concern about the intensifying tensions between Israel and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah resistance movement.
