When Israel was raining down bombs on Lebanon in 2006, murdering over a thousand Lebanese civilians, Condoleezza Rice then also refused to call for a ceasefire, shamelessly describing the death and destruction as "the birth pangs of a new Middle East"

I’m also thankful
@POTUS
did not heed calls for an immediate ceasefire weeks ago, as Israel could not have achieved this breakthrough had one occurred.
A unilateral ceasefire only serves Hamas terrorists, who broke a ceasefire on Oct. 7th - and vow to do so again and again.
