Joe Biden confidently predicts ‘a significant de-escalation today’ on call with Benjamin Netanyahu — moments before rockets are fired at Israel from Lebanon

4 rockets were just fired from Lebanon at northern Israel, 1 of which was intercepted by the Iron Dome.

In response, IDF artillery forces are striking a number of targets in Lebanon.

We are prepared for any scenario on any front.

BREAKING: A rocket fired from Lebanon hit Shefaram – an Israeli Arab city with around 50,000 Arab citizens.

These terrorist rockets don’t discriminate between Jews and Arabs – they are targeting both of us. #Lebanon #Israel pic.twitter.com/6IPoVbd6PS

So that’s what’s up.

If Hezbollah (READ: IRAN) gets involved, will Biden have the spine to stand up to them?

LOL. I'm just kidding. We know he won't. https://t.co/rLbSmeNpdW

While it’s currently not clear which group is behind these rockets, it does seem fair to conclude that Joe Biden’s not going to do much of anything. Other than make an ass of himself, at least:

This broke minutes before the White House released a readout of Biden's call with Netanyahu today, during which "the President conveyed to the Prime Minister that he expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire." 😬 https://t.co/5AZItJrY1i

White House says @POTUS told @netanyahu in a call on Wednesday that he expected a significant de-escalation in violence *today* on the path to a ceasefire.

Great job, Joe Biden. Impeccable timing.

About ten minutes after White House says Biden told Netanyahu he wants to see "significant de-escalation" today, IDF announces more strikes coming in Lebanon. Influential talk… pic.twitter.com/ueAyanq8D7

Clearly the terrorists take Joe Biden very seriously.

That's nice. Did he call Hamas and Iran and tell them this? https://t.co/l35NYbeG7e

We’re guessing he didn’t. Not that they’d listen to him anyway.

Everything he touches…
