Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sharply criticized President Biden, accusing him of “sleeping on the job” as Israel faced rocket attacks from Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists.
DeSantis made these remarks during a campaign stop in Iowa as Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel. He expressed his disappointment in Biden’s response, emphasizing that the President needs to be readily available when Israel, a critical ally, faces such threats.
The Florida Governor insisted that strong leadership and unwavering support for Israel were essential in these circumstances. He called for a clear and decisive response from the United States.
President Biden, in a press briefing, condemned the attacks and affirmed that the United States stands firmly with Israel. He mentioned starting his day with calls at 7:30 or 8:00 a.m., but it was unclear whether he was working earlier. DeSantis questioned the timing of Biden’s response, given that the attacks began late the previous night, Israeli time.
DeSantis also criticized the Biden administration’s approach to Iran, accusing them of being too lenient with the Iranian regime. He highlighted the release of $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds as part of a prisoner swap deal, expressing concerns that these funds might indirectly support terrorist organizations.
Iran is a well-known supporter of such groups, and concerns have been raised that releasing these funds could inadvertently assist them.
DeSantis characterized the attack on Israel as possibly the most severe assault since the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and emphasized the importance of supporting Israel’s right to self-defense.
The situation in Israel escalated as Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists launched rockets into southern Israel, resulting in casualties and significant damage. Both sides engaged in retaliatory actions, with Hamas declaring it “the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on earth.”
Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, declared the country to be at war and pledged to address the situation with top security officials.
The conflict has raised concerns and garnered international attention, underscoring the need for swift and decisive action to de-escalate tensions in the region.
