No just pick up the phone and dial a number

Biden can end the bombing of Gaza right now. Here’s how

On 12 August, in what would later be dubbed “Black Thursday”, Israeli jets bombed Beirut for 11 consecutive hours, killing more than 100 people. That same day, a horrified Ronald Reagan placed a phone call to Menachem Begin, then Israeli prime minister, to “express his outrage” and condemn the “needless destruction and bloodshed”.

“Menachem, this is a holocaust,” Reagan told Begin.

Yes, an American leader used the H-word in conversation with an Israeli leader. Begin responded with sarcasm, telling the US president that “I think I know what a holocaust is.” Reagan, however, didn’t budge, insisting on the “imperative” for a ceasefire in Beirut.

Twenty minutes. That’s all the time it took for Begin to call back and tell the president he had ordered Sharon to stop the bombing. It was over. “I didn’t know I had that kind of power,” a surprised Reagan told an aide, upon putting down the phone.

Reagan was actually so tough that his mere existence caused Iran to release the hostages, also, there were no other factors do not look. Srsly "I'm the most communister also reagan yelled israel into not doing a thing" get serious

Good thing Biden gave Netanyahu 26 Billion dollars to commit Genocide with no strings attached. That's probably the play right?

If only Biden could have done something to stop it. He is just a powerless old man with the full power to stop or continue the Genocide by invoking Leahy law.
