Retired Air Force Brig. Gens. Blaine Holt and John Teichert told Newsmax on Monday that the Biden administration is playing politics with the Israel-Hamas war and is pandering to a domestic audience in an election year when it talks about airdropping humanitarian aid.
“The IDF will cut a deal with Hamas,” Holt said during an appearance on “American Agenda.” “The deal is going to be [Hamas’] complete surrender and give [Israel] the hostages. That’s the only way anybody makes it out of this alive. And yet there’s still the possibility that we could have a special operations rescue mission of some kind. But what undermines all of this is the nonsense politics coming out of Washington, D.C., where we think it’s in our best interest to play amongst political rivals, preferring one over the other.
“Certainly we wouldn’t tolerate a former president going over to work directly with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and so this complicates the matter. And, quite honestly, Gen. [Benny] Gantz came over here and he gave the exact same message: that they’re not going to take their boot off the throat of Hamas at all.”
