Former Vice President Mike Pence penned a scathing op-ed in National Review on Tuesday, accusing President Biden of “weakness,” “confusion” and “betrayal” amidst the recent conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

In the piece, Pence blamed the increasing conflict on the Biden administration. “Many Americans witnessing the recent bloodshed in Israel are perplexed by how quickly violence erupted after years of calm,” Pence wrote. “The answer is that President Biden and congressional Democrats have abandoned unambiguous support for our ally Israel, emboldened our enemies, and turned their back on the policy that yielded historic peace deals in the Middle East.”

First, Pence pointed out, the Trump administration publicly supported Israel and quite the “dangerous Iran nuclear deal.” It was under Trump that the American embassy moved to Jerusalem. All the while, they faced criticism.

“Every step of the way, Democrats and self-proclaimed foreign-policy ‘experts’ derided our administration’s approach and issued dire warnings that blood would soon flow in the streets of Israeli cities,” Pence wrote. “As usual, they were wrong.”

“But now, President Biden has sent the world a profoundly different message,” Pence went on. “Instead of seeking peace through strength, he has invited violence through weakness.” Pence blasted Psaki for refusing to answer the question of whether Israel was “an important ally” or not.

“Every tepid statement uttered by the Biden-Harris administration is built on a false equivalency between Israel and Hamas,” Pence wrote.

As far as solutions, Pence suggests all there’s left to do is pray. “Americans should pray for the peace of Jerusalem and stand without apology for our most cherished ally, Israel until the violence is quelled and Israel’s security is restored,” he wrote.

The Israel Defense Forces released footage alongside a statement on X of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives admitting that a huge amount of terror operatives are hiding in the Shifa Hospital in Gaza. The depositions are described in the statement as containing “details of Hamas terror infrastructure deeply embedded within the hospital, which is used by senior Hamas operatives for planning and directing terror attacks.”

One associate from Islamic Jihad told interviewers that he estimated that there were as many as 1,000 militants stationed in and around the medical campus, including certain sections that “belong” to his group. The individual described the maternity ward as his organization’s “headquarters.”

According to some of the prisoners in the recordings, the building’s medical residency department is serving as an improvised weapons storage room.

Some of the detainees claimed to have been stationed at the facility for as long as three months, which the Foreign Desk News explains suggests that the terror groups reestablished their positions shortly after Israel withdrew from the facility on November 15.

The hospital is a prime location for terrorists to conduct operations out of because they do not abide by International law, which requires that medical infrastructure be demilitarized during times of conflict. Additionally, any attempt to use them for belligerent activity is supposed to result in negating the statutory protections that they are given. However, “This distinction is important in light of criticism that Jerusalem has received for currently attempting to regain control of what is Gaza’s largest health care facility” according to the Foreign Desk News.
