Just so everyone knows, this article is kinda misleading. The original source is an Israeli news organization hour long special, 60 minutes style, where they talked to people who worked in the Biden administration. The thing this article is discussing is how Biden essentially never came to BB and said “ceasefire right now”. But that doesn’t mean there was no pressure involved.
For instance, the same special talked to people who were aware of plans in the administration to do a speech that, they hoped, would trigger elections in Israel and force out BB so that a pro-ceasfire government could come into power and get it done. It would have been a speech about Biden telling Israelis have two choices, continue the killing or work towards lasting peace. Those plans didn’t amount to what people wanted and Biden ended up giving a much more mild speech that didn’t do shit. To the dismay of many in the state department and the White House.
The report also talked about how multiple times throughout the administration was talking to BB to get a ceasefire and they’d come to an agreement and then at the last minute BB would pull out to prolong the conflict past the election. It happened multiple times. Remember when Biden said they had come to an agreement several times and nothing came of it? That’s because the agreement they had come to was dropped by BB and it made Biden look like a senile old man who made it up.
Edit: To be fair, this article speaks of this in the 4th to last paragraph and then addresses how Biden was also trying to broker a deal between Israel and the Saudis that would have lead to peace and international recognition of the Palestinian state. To which BB didn’t want to do because it would give him a win. That is mentioned, in the 3rd to last paragraph in the article. Gotta lead with the most sensational stuff and hide that there’s much more to it than “Biden did nothing”
End edit
BB was doing everything he could to prolong the conflict and make sure Biden and eventually Harris were not elected.
Should Biden have been more forceful and come to Israel and said “hey, ceasefire right fucking now?” Absolutely. But to say they did nothing is disingenuous.
If you don’t believe what I’m saying then you should really question this article too because I’m just using the same source they are, an Israeli news special.
The article leads with saying he did nothing, which is misleading because he did do things even if they didn’t work. Saying he did nothing is misleading.

It is not misleading it is completely correct and matches reality.
Biden could have stopped the genocide in a single phone call.
The article leads with saying he did nothing, which is misleading because he did do things even if they didn’t work. Saying he did nothing is misleading.
He acted like he did something but did nothing which would work.
Do you think asking Netanyahu while sending him bombs without demands is doing something?
Even the Israelis are boasting about Biden doing nothing. And they are correct.
What’s next boasting about Trumps ceasefire at the beginning of his presidency?
