He's just going over there too tell Netanyahu that he's right behind him in preventing aid getting through to a million children.

He's probably just trying to get tips on how to keep folk from the middle East away:-)

This war is not as popular as people think and if there is a ground invasion with the resulting carnage of innocent civilians it’s going to be be very bad for the politicians that gave the Israelis the green light

U.S. gov't employees increasingly distressed with 'blind support' for Israel​

Despite the Biden administration's full-throated support and near-parallel thinking from Congress, more rank-and-file government employees are growing increasingly distressed with blind support for Israel amid Gaza's humanitarian crisis



More than 400 Congressional staffers, primarily Jewish and Muslim, anonymously signed an open letter calling for an immediate Gaza ceasefire. They noted they were "profoundly disturbed" that "shows of humanity" following the Hamas attack "have barely been extended to the Palestinian people.



A U.S. official confirmed a HuffPost report that State Department officials are preparing an internal document directed to State Department leadership criticizing the Biden administration's approach to Israel's war on Gaza.



The dual efforts come after a top State Department official publicly resigned earlier this week in protest of Biden policy on Israel.

You do realise the sheer amount of staff there are ?

Congressional staffers number circa 9 to 10 thousand. The state department numbers rise highly into the 10's of thousands ?

The numbers dwarf the 400 this report quotes, which is why it probably doesn't want to quote them.

I suspect this is more him thinking about his future after the election, he wants to be seen as a statesman rather than one of worst prime ministers we’ve ever had

His family will be able to do more more commercial deals with Israel than a gigantic refugee camp.
