On Wednesday evening, the Biden White House sent out a social media post on Instagram and other platforms that featured President Joe Biden shaking hands with members of US special forces while on his trip in Israel following the devastating terrorist attack that saw over 1,300 Israelis and 30 Americans massacred alongside over 200 civilians taken hostage.
The caption on the post reads, "In Israel, President Biden met with first responders to thank them for their bravery and the work they're doing in response to the Hamas terrorist attacks."
The post, however, was taken down after about an hour due to the fact that those in the photograph include members of the armed forces who are in Israel to assist with the rescuing of American hostages in the Gaza Strip.
"The Whitehouse media team shared this picture last night (I added the black boxes) without blurring or censoring the faces of the 'Delta Force' (CAG) operator's faces," wrote journalist Sam Shoemate. "They deleted it an hour later after hundreds of thousands had already viewed it. This is a massive failure on the Biden admin."

"Once again this Administration proves that they do not care about the safety of our service members overseas," wrote WarRoom CEO Maureen Bannon. "The White House VIOLATED OPSEC when they posted this picture (without any blurring out of faces). The operational security of all of the Special Operators over in Israel has been compromised by this massive failure."
"The post was deleted a hour after posting, however hundreds of thousands had already viewed it," she explained. "The White House staffers that created and approved the post need to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY."

According to The New York Times, Hamas has taken at least 203 civilian hostages following the attack on October 7th. The State Department, while not admitting that Americans have been taken hostage, has said that at least 13 Americans are unaccounted for.
President Biden has reportedly spoken with the families of those who are missing, telling them that there was "no higher priority than the safety of Americans being held hostage around the world."
Special forces operators have been sent to Israel to assist with intelligence and planning to locate the hostages alongside the IDF who were abducted by the Hamas terrorists.
America is suffering the worst hostage crisis since the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis. President Biden and his staff appear to be repeatedly committing blunder after blunder as the Israeli-Hamas conflict escalates.
