U.S. President Joe Biden and other top White House officials warned Israel that it could lose support if the war continues in the Middle East.
Their warning comes as the Israel Defense Forces focus their troops in the Gaza Strip in hopes of eliminating the Hamas terrorist group. They are expected to send this message directly to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Joe Biden Warns Israel Will Lose Support if War in Gaza Continues
Democratic presidential candidate former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden pauses as he speaks during the AARP and The Des Moines Register Iowa Presidential Candidate Forum at Drake University on July 15, 2019 in Des Moines, Iowa.
According to CNN's latest report, Joe Biden, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are all on their way to Israel.
Numerous sources said that POTUS and his top advisers have been privately conversing with Israeli officials; telling them that the support for IDF would soon erode, which could lead to dire strategic consequences.
They added that the Israeli forces have little time left to take out Hamas terrorists before calls for a ceasefire and the uproar over the civilian casualties and human suffering reach their tipping point.
Some American officials even claimed that the Israeli military only had a few weeks to end the war before the U.S. government's call for a ceasefire became illogical.
However, the warning of the U.S. government may be useless since the Israeli Defense Forces is not showing any signs of slowing down its ground invasion in the Gaza Strip.
This can be seen on Thursday, Nov. 2, when witnesses said that the Northern Gaza was illuminated by explosions and flares as the IDF intensified its bombardment.
Israel's Intensifying Gaza Ground Invasion

Reuters reported that the Israel Defense Forces already surrounded the Gaza Strip's largest city. Israeli officials added that they will now focus their efforts to eliminate Hamas terrorists in the area.
"We're at the height of the battle. We've had impressive successes and have passed the outskirts of Gaza City. We are advancing," said Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli government is continuing its attacks in the Gaza Strip despite the world leaders' call for a ceasefire.
As of writing, Gaza's health officials said that over 9,000 civilians have been killed in the Gaza Strip ever since Israel started its ground invasion.
A group of UN special rapporteurs warned Palestinians that they are at grave risk of "genocide" if the war between Hamas and Israel goes on.
"We call on Israel and its allies to agree to an immediate ceasefire. We are running out of time," said the UN group.
