ECHOES OF OBAMA: Joe Biden Poised To Severely Undermine Israel With Secret “January Surprise” At U.N.

 

The Biden administration is reportedly crafting a “January surprise” that could severely undermine Israel at the United Nations, echoing the actions of the Obama administration in 2016. According to Michael Doran, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a former senior director in the U.S. National Security Council, Biden’s team is preparing a move modeled directly on U.N. Resolution 2334, which labeled Israeli settlements beyond the 1967 Green Line as illegal.

Speaking on his podcast on Dec. 31, Doran detailed how the administration is poised to declare Israel in violation of U.S. law by allegedly blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. This finding, rooted in Section 620(i) of the Foreign Assistance Act, could lead to U.N. action against Israel, even if Biden personally waives immediate penalties. The resulting diplomatic fallout, Doran warned, would deliver a severe blow to Israel’s international standing, with the administration effectively signaling its disapproval while publicly maintaining plausible deniability.

“Obama delivered a parting kick to Netanyahu in 2016 by allowing U.N. Resolution 2334 to pass without a veto,” Doran said. “It painted large swathes of Israel, including the Western Wall, as occupied territory. Biden’s team is preparing to do the same.”

According to Doran, the Biden administration’s approach mirrors Obama’s tactic of letting other nations spearhead the resolution, while the U.S. abstains, enabling hostile international actors to take the lead. Algeria or Slovenia are expected to introduce a new resolution condemning Israel, which the Biden administration may either quietly support or abstain from vetoing at the Security Council.

“The administration wants to have it both ways,” Doran explained. “They will find Israel guilty of obstructing aid to Gaza but will waive the consequences, signaling to the U.N. and other international bodies that the U.S. stands aside as Israel faces censure.”

The fallout, Doran warned, could cascade into the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and the European Union, all of which could leverage the U.S. finding to justify further action against Israel.

Key figures in the administration, including USAID chief Samantha Power, deputy secretary Kurt Campbell, and U.N. envoy deputy Ned Price, are reportedly driving the effort. Others, such as National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, are described as undecided, while a minority within the administration, including Middle East advisers Brett McGurk and Amos Hochstein, are pushing back.

“There are two camps fighting over this inside the administration,” Doran said. “The question is whether Biden and Blinken will sign off on it.”

Doran further noted that the incoming Republican-controlled Congress and Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House could disrupt or reverse the administration’s plans. Trump previously stood by Israel against U.N. resolutions and brokered several historic peace agreements in the region.

The reported scheme underscores deepening divisions within the Biden administration over Middle East policy, with some officials pushing for harsher measures against Israel while others urge caution.

Critics argue that such a move risks alienating Israel, one of America’s closest allies, while emboldening hostile actors in the region. “This isn’t just about Israel,” Doran cautioned. “It’s about projecting weakness to Iran, Hezbollah, and others who see U.S. equivocation as a green light.”

Chucky " the liar" Schumer Confronted Over Biden’s Mental Acuity: Deflects

 

In a recent interview with NBC’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was confronted about President Biden’s declining mental acuity during his time in office. Welker aired a clip showing Schumer blasting Republicans for pushing what he called “right-wing propaganda” regarding Biden’s cognitive state. When pressed on this point, Schumer deflected, insisting that Joe Biden had “stepped down on his own” and that his decision was not influenced by party leadership or concerns over his mental health.

Schumer’s response sparked outrage among critics, who argue that Biden’s resignation was not as voluntary as it seemed. According to sources close to the Democratic Party, Biden was pushed out by key members of his own leadership team, including Schumer himself, due to mounting concerns about his ability to effectively lead the country.

When Welker pressed Schumer for clarity on the situation, he doubled down, shifting the narrative and suggesting that Americans should “salute” Joe Biden for his service. “We need to honor his time in office and the sacrifices he made for this country,” Schumer said. “Biden has done great things, and we should acknowledge that, rather than focus on unfounded narratives.”

Critics argue that the Democratic Party, rather than fully acknowledging Biden’s cognitive struggles, chose to cover up these concerns throughout his presidency. Many on the right have long questioned Biden’s mental acuity, pointing to his frequent gaffes, memory lapses, and what they see as signs of confusion in public appearances.

Welker, who has often faced criticism for not holding Biden’s administration accountable during his presidency, appeared more pointed in this interview, a shift that surprised many viewers. Some are questioning where this level of scrutiny was during Biden’s time in office, arguing that the mainstream media downplayed legitimate concerns over his ability to serve as president.

The full truth of Biden’s departure remains a point of contention. However, the interview has ignited a broader debate over the transparency and accountability of both the Democratic Party and the mainstream media during Biden’s presidency.



Trump Administration Plans Crippling Sanctions on ICC

 

 Trump plans to implement devastating sanctions against the International Criminal Court in The Hague immediately after taking office, sources close to the matter disclosed to Israel Hayom. These executive orders could be unveiled as soon as Jan. 21.

The sanctions package will target both individual ICC personnel, including judges and prosecutors, and the institution as a whole. The administration intends to classify the ICC as an organization threatening U.S. interests, employing designation procedures similar to those used by the State Department for terrorist organizations globally. This designation will trigger severe restrictions on anyone involved with the court’s operations.

Financial institutions worldwide will be required to terminate relationships with ICC personnel or face U.S. sanctions themselves. Mirroring actions taken against sanctioned Israeli citizens by the outgoing administration, ICC staff will find themselves unable to perform routine banking operations or use credit cards. Their financial activities will be effectively frozen, with exceptions only for essential needs such as food purchases. Furthermore, all U.S.-based assets belonging to ICC employees and the institution will be frozen.

The incoming administration’s strategy extends beyond unilateral actions, as it plans to secure commitments from U.S. allies to reject cooperation with arrest warrants targeting Israeli officials.

These measures aim to create conditions allowing the court to independently withdraw its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Officials hope that during appeal proceedings, either Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan or the judges will identify legal grounds to rescind these warrants.

Violent Clashes bet. Syrian Rebels and Hezbollah Terrorists

 

Violent clashes erupted over the weekend between forces of the Syrian Ministry of Defense, which is controlled by the rebels, and Hezbollah terrorists. The clashes took place in the countryside west of Damascus, near the Syrian-Lebanese border, Channel 14 reported Sunday morning.

According to the report, Hezbollah terrorists, with the help of drug traffickers with whom they have been cooperating, attempted to establish new positions in Syria. In response, the Syrian Ministry of Defense sent military reinforcements to thwart their attempts.

It should be noted that until recently, Hezbollah operated unhindered inside Syria, but now the situation is changing. The rebels are trying to demonstrate control and governance in the field. However, developments remain unpredictable.

Arab affairs analyst Dr. Mordechai Keder suggested the Syrian government may take steps against Hezbollah within Syrian territory. According to him, the Syrian rebels who have been persecuted by Hezbollah thugs for a decade and a half are likely to quickly send forces into Lebanon to undermine the structure of the terrorist organization and damage the connection between its leaders and the troops on the ground.

Kedar noted that the Syrians possess detailed information about Hezbollah’s operations in Syrian villages such as Fua, Mada, and Sar, including the starvation of the local population in 2018–2019 and the clashes with ISIS. According to him, “Hezbollah has honestly earned the hatred of the Syrians.” However, he added that due to the severe economic crisis, there are those in Syria who are willing to cooperate with Hezbollah and assist in smuggling contraband goods.

Meanwhile, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the countryside of Manbij, a city in the northeast of Aleppo Governorate in northern Syria, 30 kilometers west of the Euphrates, is witnessing a major Turkish military escalation, during the past two days, as the Turkish forces intensified their land and air attacks using drones, targeting both military and civilian targets.

This escalation is part of a Turkish attempt to control the strategic Tishreen Dam and the Qara Kozak Bridge, amidst fears of the expansion of the scope of the operations and their impact on the humanitarian and security situation in the region. The number of fatalities in the ranks of the opposing fighting forces during the past two days has reached 101 soldiers.

The fighting has been ongoing since December when the pro-Turkish factions seized Manbij and Tal Rifaat. Since then, neither side has managed to claim any major victory against the other or capture any territory.

According to SOHR, 686 people were killed on January 4 across Syria.

Blinkin Now retracts and Says that Netanyahu Did Not Block any Deal with Hamas for Hostages!

 

Blinken: 

Netanyahu did not block a deal. Even if Israel carried out actions that delayed a deal but had a rationale, such as the elimination of Sinwar.

(For the record, according to the facts department: Israel did not carry out a specific operation to eliminate Sinwar; he was killed in a random encounter with soldiers).
