The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has criticized President Joe Biden for his “horrific” and “hostile” policies, which they claim have empowered Iran and its terror proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah. These actions allegedly contributed to the savage October 7 attacks on Israel last year. In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, ZOA President Morton Klein highlighted several critical factors that enabled violence in the region, such as the Biden administration’s approach towards Iran.
According to Klein, by ignoring sanctions and releasing funds to Iran, President Biden allowed Tehran to regain financial strength, fueling terrorist activities across the Middle East. He also pointed out how the U.S. administration pressured Israel into issuing work permits to thousands of Gazans, providing intelligence that helped Hamas map out civilian targets and facilitated their atrocities on October 7.
The ZOA leader further criticized the Biden administration for several specific actions, including urging Israel to limit retaliation after Hamas launched 4,500 missiles and providing over $1 billion to UNRWA, which fuels anti-Israel sentiment. Klein also accused the U.S. president of appointing officials who have supported the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement – a move that he says “encouraged and motivated” Muslim terrorists of Hamas and Iran.
Klein argued that the rocket attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah have displaced nearly 100,000 Israeli Jews, rendering northern and southern Israel “uninhabitable.” He emphasized the need for U.S. support in eliminating terrorism threats in the region. Despite challenges faced by Israel, Klein praised its ongoing military efforts and called on America to join forces with Israel in bringing about a true new Mideast free from terrorism.
The matter comes as Israel marks one year since Hamas’s October 7 assault on Israeli civilians, which left nearly 1,200 dead and more than 240 hostages taken, of which over 100 remain in Gaza.
