When will Joe Biden learn that you do not bring about peace by giving money to your enemies to attack your friends?
In the Middle East, that is exactly what Biden is doing. He has failed to stand up for one our greatest allies, Israel, and instead worked towards embracing one of our greatest enemies, Iran.
Iranian officials openly tout their relationship with Hamas, the group currently launching terrorist attacks against Israel. Iran has funded Hamas with tens of millions of dollars, and has supplied them with the materials, “know-how,” and technology to construct and operate rocketry.
Indeed, according to The New York Times: “The Gaza militants have openly attributed their success to help supplied by Iran, which Israel regards as its most potent foreign adversary. Iranian officials, too, are not shy about their relationship with Hamas…Speaking to a large gathering in May 2019, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, could not have been more explicit in acknowledging Iran’s critical role in assisting Hamas. ‘If it wasn’t for Iran’s support,’ he said, ‘we would not have had these capabilities.’ Along with providing smuggled weapons and equipment, Iran has been focused on training to help Hamas upgrade local production, extend the range of rockets and improve their accuracy, according to both Palestinian and Israeli officials and experts.”
Yet, Biden officials seem determined to LIFT SANCTIONS on Iran, even as Hamas attacks Israel. Yesterday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki even told reporters that the administration’s conversations with Israel have not focused on peace deals or security, but instead on Biden’s effort to rejoin the disastrous Iran Deal, which threatens Israel's security.
Biden's Press Secretary Jen Psaki says that the Biden administration's conversations with Israel have focused on Biden's efforts to lift sanctions on Iran.

Republicans have made clear that we stand with Israel and against Biden’s effort to funnel millions into Iran’s, and by extension Hamas’, bank accounts.
Under Biden, peace through strength is out, and war through weakness is in. Biden has emboldened America’s enemies, and the result is that the historic progress towards peace achieved by the Trump Administration has turned into crisis under Biden.
