He was told “in writing and verbally” that there was “no delay in the delivery of weapons to Israel.
Biden deliberately postponed the public announcement of his weapons embargo on Israel until he was able to first speak at the Holocaust Museum and assure Jewish audiences of his “ironclad” “commitment” to Israel’s security. Even as he was delivering that speech, he knew that what he was saying was a lie.
But the lies go beyond Israel or the voters.
The Biden administration had leveraged military aid to Israel to pass a much larger (and much less popular) military aid package to Ukraine. Biden had refused to pass the stand-alone package to Israel that Republicans had wanted. I predicted at the time that it was a bait and switch and that Israel might never see that aid. And currently, Biden is blocking aid that predates the package.
In order to seal the deal, the Biden administration had conducted classified briefings for Speaker Johnson. And it turns out that they lied in those briefings.
Johnson said that even before Biden’s comments last night threatening to cut off weapons to Israel, he was deeply concerned by reports that the U.S. had already done so.
“And my reaction honestly was: Wow, that is a complete turn from what I have been told even in, you know, recent hours,” Johnson said. “I mean, 24 hours ago it was confirmed to me by top administration officials that the policy’s very different than what he stated there. So I hope that’s a senior moment.”
Johnson said he had been assured by Biden officials that the reports of a weapons cutoff were not accurate and did not violate his agreement with the president.
“I was in the SCIF having classified discussions with some top administration officials,” he said, referring to a secure facility in the Capitol. “My concern was we got word about these, you know, this shipment of munitions being delayed. And that was a great concern to us because I got commitments from top administration officials before we passed the supplemental package for the aid to Israel that that would not happen.”
He added that he was told “in writing and verbally” that there was “no delay in the delivery of weapons to Israel because it’s so desperately needed.”
So the Biden administration lied. It didn’t just lie to the voters, its personnel lied during classified briefings, they were instructed to lie directly to the House Speaker.
And they did.
