‘It makes him look weak’, Obama’s former speechwriter chides Biden over Israel attack response
Jon Favreau, former speechwriter for President Barack Obama has termed called Joe Biden’s response to Israel’s recent airstrike as ‘weak’
Jon Favreau, former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, criticized President Joe Biden’s response to Israel’s recent airstrike that killed seven aid workers, calling it “weak” and suggesting that Biden’s “private anger” is insufficient without leveraging change from the Israeli government.
Favreau stated, “The President doesn’t get credit for being ‘privately enraged’ when he still refuses to use leverage to stop the IDF from killing and starving innocent people.” He added, “These stories only make him look weak.”
Favreau’s comments came in response to a Politico report, citing senior officials, which indicated that Biden has no intention of altering his current Israeli policies. A source from the report described the U.S. government’s reluctance to challenge the Israeli government as “regrettable.”
“It’s just rinse and repeat with the Israelis. The American political system can’t or won’t draw a real line with them and that is regrettable,” said a senior U.S. official told Politico.
Despite his criticism og Biden’s Israel policy Favreau maintains he is a Democrat supporter and would vote for Biden, “I’m voting for Joe Biden, campaigning for Joe Biden, love most of what Joe Biden has done, but hate his Israel policy and want it to change. Not sure why that’s hard to get.”
