Fred Fleitz joined Wake Up America on Newsmax to discuss the Israel-Hamas war.
Fred Fleitz, a national security expert, appeared on Newsmax's Wake Up America to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Fleitz criticized the Biden administration's handling of the situation, highlighting the reliance on information from Gaza's Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas. He questioned the credibility of the reported figures and urged caution in accepting them as fact.
Fleitz emphasized that a senior Hamas official stated the group would not agree to a deal without a complete end to the war in Israel, a condition he deemed unacceptable for Israel. He pointed out the political dimensions of the conflict, suggesting that some of the Biden administration's actions are politically motivated to appease both pro-Israel supporters and critics of Israel within the U.S.
Fleitz also mentioned his recent visit to Israel with General Keith Kellogg, where they met with senior Israeli officials. He expressed embarrassment over the Biden administration's conflicting messages, which attempt to balance support for Israel with appeasing its detractors. Fleitz concluded that a peace deal remains unlikely as Hamas demands Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza, while Israel insists on resuming the war until Hamas is completely defeated.
