Biden literally said that there is nothing he could do and all opposition to Israel being "behind closed doors he doesn't like Netanyahu and expresses disapproval, despite his public support" and Kamala repeatedly saying that she would do nothing different than Biden. What did Biden actually do to pursue ceasefire? The ceasefire came because Trump wanted it after his inauguration as one of his immediate accomplishments, so the Trump White House called Israel's Foreign Minister to make it happen, and when Netanyahu tried to deflect by saying that it was Shabbat, so he couldn't get to it until Monday, the Trump White House threatened them and said "I don't care that it is Shabbat, this is happening. Sign the ceasefire". Israel absolutely cannot continue without US support and bombs.
