   "According to leaked remarks from today’s war cabinet meeting, attended by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Blinken told Israel it cannot operate in southern Gaza in the way it has done in the north — a presumed reference to the heavy air bombardment and crushing ground operation — and indicated that Israel has weeks, not months, to complete its declared mission of destroying Hamas."

     @ProjectFearlessness I was joking about Blinken firing the cabinet. As an American, our government gives this impression that it can only humbly petition Israel to respect human rights or avoid civilian casualties. The idea that the US Secretary of State even goes to a foreign country's cabinet meetings, much less laying down the parameters of how they can conduct the rest of this war, is mind-blowing. If the US has that much control, US citizens need to pressure our government harder.

     I'm not sure who you mean. Is who going to fire who? Will Netanyahu fire his war cabinet? Or will the war cabinet fire Netanyahu? Or will Blinken fire Netanyahu? Or will Netanyahu fire Blinken? It's anybody's guess.

     @ProjectFearlessness The leaked meeting notes you shared, which I've also seen elsewhere, sound like an irritated district manager berating an office of underperforming employees.

     That's true. Who knows about the true nature of the relationship between America and Israel? Maybe all Biden needs is a push from the American people and he can stop all this.
