So literally the entire time so many people were getting all pissed Biden wasn't calling for a cease fire, he was working to get a cease fire, and he actually got it, and didn't slip up one time to stick it to some reporter he hates.
I definitely would have spilled the beans and ruined everything.
And people are still mad at him.
Whether they admit it or not, they like the blowhard.
He didn't. He got a 5-day pause. We'll see if he can extend it to a real ceasefire, but if after four days Palestinians continue getting bombed all criticism against him will still be valid.
I mean, a ceasefire is literally a temporary pause to fighting.
No one was calling for a truce or peace talks.
I mean yes but in the context of this particular conflict a ceasefire is more long-term (usually it falls apart as soon as Israel breaks it but that's beside the point). A 5-day pause to fighting is a different to a ceasefire because a ceasefire would mean this particular massacre comes to an end.
People calling for ceasefire have been continually dismissed and told only a pause is possible. Now that Bidens support is tanking there is at least a pause. We'll see what happens in 4 days,
