White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan will travel to China next week for talks with top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi, a visit aimed at keeping U.S.-China tensions in check with the November U.S. election fast approaching. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/24/asia-pacific/politics/jake-sullivan-china-visit-election/ #asiapacific #politics #china #us #jakesullivan #wangyi #xijinping #joebiden #2024uspresidentialelection
He appears to be echoing #Trump’s comments from May that only he could free WSJ reporter #EvanGershkovich, claiming that “Vladimir #Putin, President of #Russia, will do that for me, but not for anyone else, & WE WILL BE PAYING NOTHING!”
But this was easily disproved Thurs after the release of the hostages…. #Nationalsecurity adviser #JakeSullivan was asked about #Vance’s claim…,& he dismissed the idea.
“I don’t follow,” Sullivan replied. [best reply to a Trump &/or #JDVance quote ever]
The #Biden admin had been working on a swap that would have included the release of Russian opposition leader Alexei #Navalny before his death, #WhiteHouse #NationalSecurity Adviser #JakeSullivan said.
“In fact, on the very day that he died, I saw Evan’s [#Gershkovich] parents, & I told them that the president was determined to get this done, even in light of that tragic news, & that we were going to work, day & night, to get ... this done,” Sullivan said.
The U.S. "will do what is necessary" to see that the Philippines is able to resupply a ship on the Second Thomas Shoal that Manila uses to reinforce its claims to the atoll, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/20/asia-pacific/politics/us-philippines-resupply-china/ #asiapacific #politics #philippines #china #pla #us #southchinasea #russiaukrainewar #russia #jakesullivan #disputedislands
#Israel stands behind #Gaza cease-fire proposal, says #US national security adviser #JakeSullivan, who pushed back against #Hamas assertions that Israel isn’t fully committed to the proposal outlined by #Biden.
“Israel has SUPPLIED this proposal… Israel has not contradicted or walked that back,” Sullivan said. “To this day they stand behind the proposal.”
Has anybody heard anything OFFICIAL from Israel directly that either corroborates OR contradicts this?

"#JakeSullivan affirms U.S. commitment to full removal of Hamas from power in #Gaza"
Watch #Hamas enthusiasm and support for the #US-sponsored #ceaseFire deal in the #MiddleEast conflict crumble and go up in flames in 3, 2, 1…

“State Dept: #NATO & the US are NOT considering sending their military advisers to #Ukraine.”
Idiocy! The #WhiteHouse is STILL scared that sending advisers, to Ukraine, to advise, NOT fight, will “escalate the situation.”
Fire #JakeSullivan!
U.S. President Joe Biden's national security advisor has briefed Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the "potential" of a normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/20/world/politics/us-israel-saudi-deal-netanyahu-talks/ #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #benjaminnetanyahu #saudiarabia #us #jakesullivan

While you certainly don't have agree with #jakesullivan :
"...Hamas uses hospitals and schools and other civilian facilities for military purposes and has built a vast network of military tunnels under civilian areas. That puts innocent civilians in the crossfire."
I'd hope you acknowledge his articulation of #biden 's position with regards to #hamas and #genocide as above.
@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @rameshgupta you don't have to agree with #jakesullivan but I would hope that acknowledge that he's said otherwise on behalf of #biden as:

We have this funny system where the accused gets to defend themselves. In fact, they can just stand mute, or just deny the charge.
Biden has, through #jakesullivan ,denied the charge. Were he in front of the #icj or #icc at #thehague would you at least be interested in what he had to say?
Because, and the significance of this cannot be overstated, maintains that there was a #ceasefire and that #hamas broke it. Perhaps you differ.
