Sky News host James Morrow has blasted the Biden administration for their “gift to Hamas” and Iran by pausing military aid to Israel.

US President Joe Biden has urged Israel not to go ahead with such an operation over fears it would exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe in the Palestinian enclave.

Earlier this week, Biden said the United States would not provide offensive weapons for a Rafah invasion, raising pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The full supine cowardice, the weakwilled idiocy, the jellybrained determination of the Biden administration to throw over decades of American strategy to say nothing of one of America’s strongest allies, for no other reason than to gain tactical advantage in the November election – well, that was put display for the world to see over the past 24 hours.

“After months of trying to manage Israel’s response to the atrocities of October 7, and years of acting like a pal to both Tehran and Tel Aviv, the Biden administration decided it finally had to pick one side or the other.

“It reveals just how low Biden will stoop – selling out an ally when they are in the middle of trying to negotiate with Hamas for hostages, hostages of which five are believed to be Americans, by the way, and tipping the balance of power into Hamas’s favour because there’s a few votes in it.

“Honestly, Joe, how low can you go?”
