SEAN HANNITY: Biden blames Trump in 'dishonest' new Afghanistan withdrawal report

Fox News host Sean Hannity blasted President Biden's blame game after the release of the administration's new report on the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

SEAN HANNITY: August 29, 2021. You might remember, Joe Biden probably does not recall. He does not know that today is Thursday. But, however, what happened on that day, we will never forget. That is the day that the remains of 13 U.S. service members that were killed in that suicide bombing near the Kabul airport arrived at Dover Airfield for a dignified transfer. Now, President Joe Biden was standing on the tarmac, remember checking his watch again, again and again. So insulting, embarrassing, multiple times, pretty disgraceful. But it was the culmination of Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and frankly, one of the most shameful, humiliating moments in American history. We have a few new ones, a Chinese spy balloon and the drone shot out of the sky. We'll get to that.

BIDEN ADMIN DRAGGED FOR BLAMING BOTCHED AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL ON TRUMP: ‘DISGRACEFUL AND INSULTING’ 

According to Biden, Biden did nothing wrong. He accepts no responsibility, frankly, for anything. Now he's learned nothing at all. Also, and it's really important, you know, not to assign blame here. Well, except for all the times that the report blamed Donald Trump, they kept blaming Donald Trump. He wasn't president during the chaotic withdrawal. Not a single American was killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan in combat in the last 18 months when Donald Trump was president. And meanwhile, Joe Biden had been sworn in for six months when he ordered this withdrawal. But according to the administration's findings, it's all Donald Trump's fault. And during the transition from the Trump administration to the Biden administration, the outgoing administration provided, they say, no plan for how to conduct the final withdrawal. In other words, how could Joe Biden ever possibly come up with his own plan before ordering the withdrawal? Maybe that's too much to ask from your commander in chief. Now, the report also accuses Trump of emboldening the Taliban and not leaving enough troops for Biden to pull out. Also, you could have put some back in. And as for the billions in military equipment that Joe left behind, billions and billions of it for the Taliban, well, that's Biden's fault. Apparently not. Take a look. In looking through this, it doesn't seem to address the $7 billion in military hardware and technology.

Israel launches airstrikes on Hamas tunnels and weapon sites in Gaza Strip

The Israeli Defense Forces unleashed airstrikes on tunnels and weapons manufacturing sites in the Gaza Strip early Friday morning, several hours after militants launched rockets at northern Israel from Lebanon. 

Palestinian militants also fired rockets from the Gaza Strip on Friday morning, though they were intercepted by Israel's air defenses. 

The latest volley comes amid rising tensions in the region, as the Jewish Passover began on Wednesday and the Muslim holy month of Ramadan continues. 

IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said at a news briefing that Israel believes Palestinian militants launched 34 rockets from southern Lebanon earlier in the day. Five of them fell on Israeli territory, while 25 were intercepted by air defenses and four others had an unclear landing spot. 

"It’s a Palestinian-oriented event," Lt. Hecht said, adding that Israel believes Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group that controls much of southern Lebanon, was aware of the attack. 

ISRAEL’S NETANYAHU AGREES TO HALT JUDICIAL REFORM FOR NOW AS MASS PROTESTS CONTINUE

The rocket fire came after Israeli police raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City twice Wednesday. Muslims flock to the mosque, which resides on the foundations of the Jewish Temple Mount, during the holy month of Ramadan.

Many Muslim visitors have attempted to stay at the mosque overnight, prompting raids that have been widely condemned by Muslims worldwide. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his cabinet Thursday. His office tweeted that Israeli officials "have no intention of changing the status quo on the Temple Mount." 

"We are calling for calming the situation and we will take strong action against extremists who use violence there," the prime minister's office tweeted. 

ISRAEL CALLS UP ARMY BATTALIONS AS SERIOUS VIOLENCE HITS WEST BANK FOLLOWING MURDER OF ISRAELI BROTHERS

An 11-day war broke out between Israel and Hamas in Gaza last year after similar tensions during Ramadan and the Passover. 

Addressing the rockets that were fired from Lebanon and Gaza this week, Netanyahu said that the "citizens of Israel stand united and unified" in support of the IDF.

"Israel's response, tonight and later, will exact a significant price from our enemies," Netanyahu tweeted.
