Birthday and article… What is Biden saying at 81? | principle
Al Jazeera Net reporters
Washington- Celebrating President Joe Biden’s 81st birthday today, Monday, November 20, is not good news for a circle of senior White House officials and advisers, as Biden has become the oldest president in US history, while he often shows signs of a deficit. mental health and physical ability to perform tasks.The President who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the US Space Force.
When Biden turned 80 a year ago, at a time when 77% of Americans say so, the White House arranged a wedding for his granddaughter in the back garden of the White House to distract the press and American public opinion from a president who had reached this critical age. He is too old to run for a second term. It starts in January 2025 and continues till January 2029.
An Associated Press poll last August found that 69% of Democrats, 74% of independents and 89% of Republicans disapprove of Biden running in the upcoming elections.
Yesterday, a Wall Street Journal editorial said, “Given President Biden’s age, running for re-election is a profoundly self-serving act,” adding, “His advisers and his family must put country first before offers of office, and they must tell the truth, which is that the president is a great man.” “Old for another term, if he refuses to ask for it, the expected course of action is to resign and stop covering for him.”
Birthday and Essay
In honor of the president’s birthday, Biden chose to write an opinion piece in Sunday’s weekly Washington Post. Words.
The article is titled “Both Putin and Hamas will not back down from facing the challenge”, linking the Russian war on Ukraine with the Operation Al-Aqsa flood against the Israeli occupation and the unprecedented aggression against the Gaza Strip. Biden attempted to achieve several goals with his exceptional essay.
In his essay, President Biden placed Russian President Vladimir Putin in the category of, as he called it, “evil and aggressive” by linking Russian President Vladimir Putin with Hamas to push his agenda, which has been blocked by Republicans in Congress.
Biden asked Congress to approve a $106 billion aid package, including $14 billion for Israel and $61 billion for Ukraine, which was rejected by the Republican-majority House of Representatives. The House later approved $14 billion in aid to Israel. , it was rejected. Biden approves full aid package, including allocations for Ukraine.
Biden is trying to portray himself as a strong and tough leader, repeating what he has repeatedly said since the start of the Israeli occupation of Gaza. Biden wrote, “He ordered the deployment of two US aircraft carrier battle groups to the area to increase the deterrence. And to go after Hamas and its sponsors and facilitators of terrorism.”
In his article, Biden wrote, “We are imposing multiple rounds of sanctions to weaken the financial structure of the Hamas movement, cut off external funding, and block access to new funding channels, including social media.”
Biden noted that the United States will do what is necessary to protect American forces and civilians throughout the Middle East, and that his country’s forces have “repeatedly responded to strikes against us.”
Biden celebrated his trip to Israel, saying, “I immediately traveled to Israel to show solidarity with the Israeli people and to assure the world that the United States supports Israel, and I am the first president of the United States to do so during a war.”
By choosing to write for the Washington Post over the more liberal New York Times or the more conservative Wall Street Journal, Biden reflects his desire to connect with traditional forces in the Democratic Party that support Israel. At a time when Biden is refusing to call for a ceasefire, it is trying to sideline progressive voices within the party who oppose the administration’s stance on the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip.
Despite the sacrifice of at least 13,000 Palestinians, pressure is mounting from a growing number of traditional Democrats in the White House to completely reverse its stance in favor of the Israeli occupation.
Some Democratic members of the House and Senate are debating placing conditions on future military aid to Israel, a public move to pressure the Biden administration to impose a cease-fire.
Biden’s goal may be to improve his image among a broad American electoral sector angered by media and social media showing images of destruction, killing and destruction of schools and hospitals by Israel without US condemnation.
Biden put a human face in his article, writing, “Pictures coming out of Gaza and thousands of civilians, including children, killed and the children of Palestine crying today for their missing relatives, and so saddened by the parents. Write their children’s names on their hands or feet… “If the worst happens. They can be identified, and Palestinian nurses and doctors are desperately trying to save every precious life they can, with little or no resources.”
Although Biden said that “every innocent Palestinian life lost is a tragedy that tears apart families,” he did not point to Israel as a party to the suffering and killings to which Palestinian children are exposed, and he considered the children of Gaza. There were no casualties from the munitions that reached Israel by American planes. The daily approach has not stopped since October 7.
In his essay, Biden tried to tell the world that Washington is the force that carries the banner of good and good values in today’s world, and that the Israeli occupation and the associated American green light have led to a major decline in that image. America’s reputation, as stated in various reports from US embassies around the world.
Biden pointed out that his country will spare no efforts to shape a better future for future generations and that America is the main country standing against the occupiers to move towards a bright and peaceful future.
This is “a time when clear vision, big ideas and political courage are most needed, a strategy my administration will continue to lead in the Middle East, Europe and the world,” he said.

The International Criminal Court announced Thursday that public prosecutor Karim Khan traveled to Israel “at the request and invitation” of survivors and families of victims of the October 7 Hamas attack.
