The Biden administration’s U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs reportedly deleted a post telling Israel not to retaliate after a massive attack by Islamist group Hamas at daybreak on Saturday, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Hamas launched 5,000 rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip in a surprise attack, followed by dozens of gunmen who entered the country and kidnapped many Israelis, according to the Associated Press. The U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs reportedly posted a message to X — formerly Twitter — calling for “all sides to refrain” from violent retaliation before deleting it, according to the Post.

“We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred,” the deleted post stated. “We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
The U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs did not confirm or deny whether they made the post and deleted it, instead pointing the Daily Caller News Foundation to posts by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the White House National Security Council spokesperson condemning the attacks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war in response to Hamas’ attack, pledging historic retaliation.
“The enemy will pay an unprecedented price,” Netanyahu stated, according to AP. He also said that Israel will “return fire of a magnitude that the enemy has not known.”
Biden established the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs in Jerusalem in June 2022 and it is under the State Department.
The State Department and the White House did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today's high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won't come about because of "catastrophic climate change," but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
