Fox News' Jesse Watters calls out Joe Biden's leadership after he backtracks on Gaza ceasefire stance
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News host Jesse Watters criticized Joe Biden, suggesting that he might not be fit for the role of Commander-in-Chief.
This came after the President stumbled over his words while discussing a ceasefire he had previously supported in a recent press conference.
While there have been attempts made by the Biden administration to call for a ceasefire over Gaza, President Biden seemed to prioritize the release of the hostages, "not a ceasefire."
Jesse Watters questions President Biden on his Israel policy
'The Five' host Jesse Watters expressed his disappointment in the way Biden had poorly responded to the reporter asking for his stance on the hostage releases and the ceasefire.
"Well, I don't know anything about Israeli politics but I do know that Joe Biden's not cut out to be Commander-in-Chief," Watters said.
He added, "You have to be precise when you speak about war. And the man does not have it, Jessica [Tarlov]. In the last 72 hours, he said 'Oh, let's do a ceasefire. Let's not do a ceasefire. Let's negotiate for hostages' -- I don't know what the policy is."
When Jessica Tarlov came in to defend Biden here, Watters fired back.
"No, you don't. Because he doesn't. Because the policy changes every single day, Jessica. There's a lot of pressure on him right now but there's a lot of pressure throughout the region and we are advertising [that] we are under pressure," the host responded.
Watters also went on to add, "I see leaks every day in Axios saying that the administration is panicked over World War III. Now, why are we even talking to reporters about how panicked we are?"
He continued, "About World War III? We are admitting we're running low on weapons? We're admitting we have no idea how many hostages there are."
Jesse Watters schools Biden Administration on how to tackle media
Jesse Watters then commented on how the Biden Administration should instead take on the questioning of journalists.
"This is what you say. You say the United States will do everything we possibly can to defend our allies and our interests in the region. That's it! And you say if anybody messes with us, they'll face the full force of the US military. And you say nothing else," Watters said.
The host then slammed the network Al Jazeera which has consistently shown the bad state of the Gaza Strip where thousands have lost their lives and basic necessities are more or less scarce.
"Not only are they winning the so-called 'PR war' with these hostage releases, you should see how these releases are being covered in Al-Jazeera," he said.
Adding, "They are making it like these people are the diplomats, the humanitarians. And if we would just do a ceasefire, we could settle this thing altogether like that."
