<p>The White House leaked details of a call between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to placate &#8220;so-called peace activists&#8221; after Iran launched an assault on Israel, Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marco-rubio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marco Rubio</a> (R-FL) posited on Sunday.</p>
<p>Rubio, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CNN that he favors doing &#8220;anything&#8221; that can be done to protect U.S. troops in the region from being attacked when pressed on the prospect of U.S. retaliation.</p>
<p>&#8220;But Israel is not asking us to launch attacks on Iran. I &#8230; have ever heard the Israelis come to us and say, &#8216;Will you help us or will you attack Iran or go in after Iran? They&#8217;re not asking for that. They&#8217;re not asking for it,&#8221; Rubio said.</p>
<p>He then addressed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-to-netanyahu-u-s-will-not-back-counterstrike-against-iran-report?topStoryPosition=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporting</a> that Biden told Netanyahu that the United States would not support a counterattack against Iran as the White House is concerned that escalating military action could have significant consequences for the region.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think we go from that to the other extreme, which is Joe Biden telling Netanyahu, &#8216;Take the win, don&#8217;t do anything.&#8217; And then his people leaking it to the media, leaking it to the press,&#8221; Rubio said. &#8220;And what it sets up is — they know that Israel is going to respond. They know this for a fact. So why would the White House leak it?&#8221;</p>

<p>He added, &#8220;There&#8217;s only one reason they leaked that, and that is that so, when Israel does respond, the White House can say, &#8216;We told them not to do it,&#8217; and at least somehow, in some way appease the so-called peace activists &#8230; the so — cease-fire now people, who were out yesterday cheering the launch of hundreds of rockets and drones and missiles against Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>A viral clip posted to X on Saturday showed leftist activists chanting &#8220;hands off Iran!&#8221; after Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel. The news outlet that published the video, The Free Press, <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/american-anti-war-activists-cheer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the crowd applauded and someone did a &#8220;celebratory whistle&#8221; when the news broke.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">A few minutes after news broke that Iran had launched drones and missiles heading toward Israel, a crowd of far-left activists in Chicago started chanting “hands off Iran!” <a href="https://t.co/xuZZ8C0XyU">pic.twitter.com/xuZZ8C0XyU</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The Free Press (@TheFP) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheFP/status/1779284879886123267?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 13, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Rubio explained that anyone who is encouraging major strikes on Israel — beyond simply demonstrating in favor of a cease-fire in Gaza where Israeli forces are fighting Iran-backed Hamas terrorists — is not a &#8220;peace activist,&#8221; as some might claim.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are antisemites, anti-Israel, pro-terrorist elements out there, and we need to stop calling them peace activists. They are not peace activists,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Peace activists do not cheer massive attacks against other countries, which is what they were doing yesterday. So I guess this is part of the White House&#8217;s effort to appease them by putting this out there proactively,&#8221; Rubio added.</p>
