Happy Thursday, Morning Briefing Fam! Kruiser is traveling, and he has entrusted the Morning Briefing to me. I'd like to wish my brother-in-law Michael a Happy Birthday. It's a tall order tolerating my sister, so he deserves a wonderful day.
It's been just over 10 months since the Hamas invasion of Israel, and the more time that passes since the invasion, the bolder Israel's enemies get.
Israel is getting ready to begin ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, but the terrorist organization and its Iranian backers could be taking advantage of divisions within the Israeli government to go for broke with their demands. Rick wrote about it:
Hamas has expanded its demands and is refusing to take part in negotiations on Thursday. Iran is trying to drive a wedge between Israel and the United States. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition cabinet is fraying around the edges. Netanyahu bashed his defense minister Yoav Gallant after remarks to lawmakers by Gallant leaked to Israeli media.
Gallant dismissed Netanyahu's war aims of "total victory" over Hamas as "gibberish," branding those who say that this is achievable as “heroes with war drums.”
“When Gallant adopts the anti-Israel narrative, he harms the chances of reaching a hostage deal,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement.
In truth, Gallant and Netanyahu rarely see eye-to-eye, so this latest dustup is nothing new. But Hamas may exploit this division in the cabinet to press even more unreasonable demands.
The pressure on Netanyahu is growing both domestically and internationally. But even Netanyahu's fiercest enemies realize that with Iran preparing an attack on Israel perhaps in a matter of hours, this is not the time to sow divisions.
On top of that, reports have surfaced that the Biden-Harris administration sent a representative to Tehran to tell the Iranians, "Hey, we weren't in on Israel killing terrorist leaders." Y'know, we can't have a potential Iranian attack reflecting badly on Harris-Walz. Robert explains:
The Biden-Harris regime is all about holding and increasing its power, and Israel is in the way of that aspiration right now. In pursuit of votes in Michigan and Minnesota, Kamala Harris just chose Tim Walz as her running mate over a stronger candidate, Josh Shapiro, because Shapiro is Jewish. It has sent billions to the bankroller of Hamas and Hezbollah, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and hundreds of millions to Gaza, which means to Hamas. It has withheld arms shipments to Israel. And now it is being accused of a betrayal so immense that it makes those others look like friendship.
Amir Fakhravar, a former political prisoner of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) inside Iran and the Senate chairman of the National Iranian Congress, states that shortly after the assassination of Hamas top dog Ismail Haniyeh and a key Hizballah operative, Fuad Shukr, the Biden-Harris regime swung into action. To warn the Iranians that if they attacked Israel, they would suffer serious consequences? That’s what many have assumed. In an opinion piece at Fox News on Monday, Fakhravar revealed that “Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper, citing an unnamed source in Iran's Supreme National Security Council, reported that a high-level American security delegation, brokered by Oman, secretly traveled to Tehran.” That doesn’t sound so bad in itself. But it gets much, much worse.
The mission of this high-level delegation, according to Fakhravar, was not to deter the Iranians from striking against Israel by informing them that America was fully prepared to defend its ally. Instead, the delegation’s job was to “deliver a ‘calming and cautionary’ message to deescalate the situation and ensure the supreme leader of Iran understood that the Biden-Harris administration was ‘kept in the dark’ by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the killing of two major terrorist leaders last week.”
I've also seen a report that pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted a Harris-Walz campaign meeting. I have a feeling the Democratic National Convention is going to be wild!
