Israel's leading newspaper: "Biden chose Hamas" 

Following President Biden's threat to cut off military aid to Israel if expands the operation into Rafah, "Israel Hayom" journalist Yehuda Schlesinger harshly attacked the US leader, saying he prefers Hamas to Israel.

"This is one of the most fake and cynical moments seen here in recent months," Schlesinger wrote. "We will continue until the mission is completed," Blinken tells the families of the hostages, but in practice, he takes away our use of humanitarian aid. He is now taking away our ability to use military pressure. He is pressuring us into a deal that will leave dozens of hostages in Hamas captivity. He is sending a dangerous message to the world - 'terrorism pays, just hide among civilians and you'll be fine.'"

"There is no way to embellish it - the US chose Hamas," Schlesinger concludes.
