Iran, Turkey or Israel.

"As Israelis were wrapping up the seven-day-long Jewish festival of Sukkot on Saturday (07 October)," "Thousands of missiles fired from Gaza streaked through the sky and began raining down on indiscriminate targets in Israel, sparking terror and leaving hundreds of bodies in the streets of cities and buildings decimated. Simultaneously, hundreds of armed fighters of the terrorist group (Hamas), many on motorcycles, followed bulldozers that breached fences separating Israel from Gaza and charged into cities, taking Israeli soldiers off guard and gunning down civilians." ABC. Israel was completely deceived by Hamas. "While Israel was led to believe it was containing a war-weary Hamas by providing economic incentives to Gazan workers, the group's fighters were being trained and drilled, often in plain sight, a source close to Hamas said." Reuters. "Hamas constructed a mock Israeli settlement in Gaza where they practiced a military landing and trained to storm it," and "even made videos of the manoeuvres." Hamas terrorists butchered women and babies (CNN), clearly attempting to eliminate Jews as a race. The total number of Jews in the world stands at 16 million in 2023, of which over 6 million live in Israel. wikipedia. There are over 2 million Palestinians packed into Gaza and the population growth rate in 2014 was estimated at 2.91%, the 13th highest in the world. wikipedia. Hamas can afford to sacrifice hundreds of Palestinians for every Jew killed. "The US Intelligence community is digging through its stores of data" to see if Iran had any direct role in the Hamas attack. CNN. "Tehran was not involved in the militant Hamas group's weekend attack on Israel, Iran's top authority Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday (yesterday)." Reuters. Of course, he wouldn't want to embarrass is friend Biden, would he? In 2022, "President Joe Biden's administration...restored sanctions waivers to Iran to allow international nuclear cooperation projects, as indirect American-Iranian talks on reviving the 2015 international nuclear deal with Tehran enter the final stretch." Reuters. Iran will happily talk forever while it continues its uranium enrichment. "Earlier this year," "Five US citizens detained by Tehran were allowed to leave the country in exchange for the transfer of $6 billion in Iranian funds that had been frozen in South Korea. At the same time, five Iranians held in the United States were allowed to leave." ET. So what's new? Biden was Vice President to Barack Obama who presented Iran with $400, plus $1.3 billion in interest, in 2016 for the release of 4 Americans. Reuters. What about the other friend of the US and member of NATO -Turkey? Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan accused the US of planning to massacre Palestinians when it moved a carrier strike group closer to Israel. Reuters. Erdogan deliberately provoked an incident in 2010 when he sent a ship full of Palestinian activists, apparently carrying aid to Gaza, which refused Israeli requests to examine its cargo. Biden claimed that the friendship between the US and Israel is "just simply unbreakable". Vox. Clearly, Democrat presidents believe in keeping enemies closer.
