Ron DeSantis frames Joe Biden’s Israel trip as part of a ‘twisted plan’ to ‘undermine’ Benjamin Netanyahu

'He's trying to undercut their ability to completely decimate Hamas.'

On the Mark Levin ShowRon DeSantis cast aspersions on Joe Biden’s trip to the Israeli war zone, calling it a “total fool’s errand.”

Per DeSantis, “it’s all part of a really twisted plan” driven by a desire to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I think what he’s trying to do by going over to Israel, I think he’s trying to undercut their ability to completely decimate Hamas because I think Biden wants to have a rapprochement with Iran even to this day,” DeSantis said.

“So I think this is all part of a really twisted plan,” DeSantis added, describing the Biden administration as having “an ideological attachment” to ties with Tehran.

DeSantis went on to frame Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s marathon talks with the Israeli regime as “absurd,” saying that if he were President, he would “support Israel’s right to defend themselves.”

“That means defend yourself to the hilt when you have a massacre of this scale. And Mark, if this were the equivalent of the United States with our population, because Israel is a very small country, this would be the equivalent of like 60,000 Americans being killed in a terrorist attack,” DeSantis explained.

He then contended again that the Hamas attacks earlier this month were exponentially worse than the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States.

“I remember how I felt that 9/11 and when we had 3,000, it was like the earth totally was shattered. Imagine if there was a terrorist attack that killed 60,000, that’s what they’re dealing with,” DeSantis said. “You can’t just say you’re going to do a couple glancing blows at Hamas and then let this happen again, you need to totally eliminate Hamas.”

DeSantis went on to further describe the Biden administration’s failures as he sees it.

“I don’t see them calling for Hamas to unconditionally surrender. It’s all about what Israel can’t do.”

    There can be no peace in Israel/Palestine until Netanyahoo and much of Likud is gone.
    Same as with Hamas.

    Biden is the WORST President in U.S. History hands down.

    He is worse than Jimmy Carter by a landslide and even Obama who is probably having his third term via Biden‘s advisors. Most Democrats hate America and all our hard working citizens.

    Desantis is a monster. Zero humanity left if there ever was any. Can you imagine if he was in charge of the US, right now? He’d be aiding Netanyahu in wiping out an entire group of people while gathering up every Muslim American for some horrifying end. Hamas is just a convenient excuse for him in his racism.
