In yet another attempt to undermine duly elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Joe Biden did the unthinkable two weeks ago, telling the entire world that the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, was not welcome at the White House.

Such a public statement signals to the world that Israel no longer enjoys U.S. protection. In fact, Biden’s dangerous statement became an open invitation for Israel-haters to attack the Jewish state.

In the two weeks since Biden publicly disinvited Bibi from the White House, Israel has suffered under a barrage of rocket attacks from the Gaza strip, Syria, and Lebanon. The attacks are, of course, funded by the world’s worst terror-funders and the very government Joe Biden has been appeasing for over two years — Iran.

“Iran is essentially trying to put a noose around Israel's neck,” says Israel’s strategic affairs minister, Ron Dermer. “You can add the Houthis (Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen) into that list as well. They want to surround Israel with a noose and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze. And you know, we're not going to go gently into that good night.”

Bibi is not backing down. “I can't tell you everything we do, but we do a lot,” the Israeli prime minister told reporters. “In Syria, we acted against Iranian targets and against targets of the Syrian regime. The Assad regime already knows that the price we took is only the beginning.”

“We're going to stand and defend ourselves against Iran and its proxies,’” Dermer continued, noting that the prime minister isn’t done yet. “[I]t’s a constant effort to make sure that Iran does not entrench itself in Syria, that Iran is not building sophisticated weaponry in Lebanon, and that we are fighting all the time against Iran and its proxies.”

For months, Biden’s State Department has been funding anti-Netanyahu demonstrations in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, one of which we witnessed on our recent trip to the Holy Land.

International reporters at the press event asked if the demonstrations signaled weakness to Israel’s enemies. However, Dermer was quick to point out there is NO weakness in Israel, noting that when their homeland is in trouble and when their very existence is at risk, the people of Israel always set aside their disagreements to protect the Jewish state.

“We’re not fighting wars thousands of miles away in foreign countries,” Dermer said. “We’re fighting to protect our homeland, our families.”

But it is becoming increasingly clear that the Israeli people, along with their duly elected prime minister, are fighting another enemy … one who should be a friend — Joe Biden.

Since the beginning of Biden’s regime, the administration has attempted to undermine the Jewish state at every turn, including:

• Taking longer than any administration in history to call the Jewish prime minister upon taking office.

• Funding Palestinian Pay-to-Slay programs.

• Negotiating against Israel for a new “Iran Deal.”

And now Biden is openly funding the demonstrations seeking to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu, which directly led to increased terror attacks!

You and I need to send a strong message to the lawless Biden regime, which seems intent on removing Netanyahu from office. Join me in demanding that House Republicans use the power of the purse stipulated by the Constitution to eliminate all taxpayer funding for partisan groups leading the fight against judicial reform.
