The Untold Story: Biden’s Bold Ultimatum to Israel Revealed
President Biden’s Ultimatum on Israeli Offensive
Location: Washington Source: CNN
President Joe Biden's recent announcement to publicly declare that a major Israeli offensive in Rafah would lead to a suspension of certain US weapons supply was not a decision taken lightly.
The decision followed numerous discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to reconsider the invasion plans for the densely populated city in southern Gaza, which serves as a vital channel for humanitarian aid.
Biden's national security team engaged in extensive virtual and face-to-face meetings with Israeli officials to convey the message that there are alternative strategies to target Hamas without resorting to invading a city where over a million Palestinians seek refuge.
The White House repeatedly cautioned Netanyahu that a significant invasion of Rafah would not be supported by American weaponry, a message believed to be well comprehended by the Israeli government.
Despite internal and external pressures to address humanitarian concerns in Gaza, Biden hesitated to publicly announce his warnings, fearing a rupture in US-Israel relations.
However, Netanyahu's war cabinet discussions indicated a looming decision to enter Rafah, with the Israel Defense Forces already establishing a presence in the area and hinting at a forthcoming offensive.
Eventually, Biden felt his warnings were being disregarded, leading to a shift in his approach.
Recently, Biden authorized a temporary halt to the delivery of 3,500 bombs to Israel, amid concerns that they could be used in Rafah. During an interview with CNN, Biden reiterated his stance on withholding weapons if Israel proceeded with the offensive.
Conclusion
In conclusion, President Biden's firm stance on the Israeli offensive in Rafah reflects a significant moment in US foreign policy, signaling a departure from traditional approaches and a willingness to prioritize humanitarian concerns in conflict zones.

Eight Michael Schumacher watches are being auctioned
30 years after Michael Schumacher’s first Formula 1 victory, eight watches from his possession are being auctioned in Geneva. The racing driver collected watches and owns rare pieces, some of which were made especially for him by the best watchmakers in the world. The auction will take place on Monday (May 13) in Geneva.
Schumacher’s watch collection is significantly larger, Christie’s watch specialist Alexandre Gouverneyre told the German Press Agency on Thursday in Geneva. “The family thinks that these pieces are better kept in collections.” Others, which Schumacher often wore and which are therefore associated with personal memories for the family, remained in the family’s possession.
Wristwatches from Michael Schumacher’s collection
The watches in the auction are in top condition. Some may have tiny signs of wear, but that probably only increases the value, Gouverneyre said. It stimulates the imagination: a small scratch that probably happened on Michael Schumacher’s wrist.
