A White House official told Newsweek that the administration had only opposed a large-scale ground invasion.
"We opposed a large-scale invasion with heavy ground fighting in densely populated areas while there were so many civilians sheltering there given the high potential for civilian casualties," the official said in an email.
"Instead, we advised the Israeli government on a different approach, and it worked."
On October 7, Blinken tweeted out that he thought Israel should not respond to Hamas' attack but should just engage in hostage negotiations. Ever since then every American recommendation - don't invade here, don't attack there - has been completely wrong. Israel has ignored them each time. America then claims credit because "they gave Israel advice on how to do it right." It's pathetic already.
