In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

Again, the VP HAS NO REAL POWER. The only role the VP has that has any effect whatsoever is when the Senate is stalled at a 50/50 tie. Other than that, the role is largely ceremonial.
So going into the election you had 2 candidates:
Who argued repeatedly for a cease fire, hostage release and two state solution for 4 consecutive months.
Who argued that the only thing Israel was doing wrong was not killing people fast enough.
We elected candidate #2.
When she was presidential candidate she could have allowed people speaking about Palestine at the DNC event. She chose against it. It is that low of a bar she chose to ran into instead of stepping over it. Not even letting people speak about the atrocities that are committed. Not even letting them say that Palestinians are also humans who deserve to life and that the US should not aid in annihilating them.
Also when she became presidential candidate she could have said she will do things different form Biden, instead of emphasizing that she will do more of the same. She could have told the DNC to stop arming Israel immediately and demand a full ceasefire and access for humanitarian aid. This would also have been nothing more than demanding that the US administration should uphold the law of the US, which prohibits arming people attacking and interfering with US aid. She could have threatened to step down, saying she would not be the face of more atrocities.
She didn’t do any of that. She chose to repeat the same tired rhetoric while ensuring that not only the genocide machine stays well oiled, but the propaganda machine in the US too.
She could have, and watched the $100M AIPAC dollars turn against her in a heartbeat. She’s not stupid.

The Palestinians are on the right side of history, but they don’t have the money to run a political campaign. AIPAC does. Not saying it’s right or preferable, it’s simply the fact of American politics.
So she took the AIPAC money and lost. Instead of taking side with the people and have millions of people come out in support for her, which would have been worth more than anything AIPAC could afford.
She would not have had millions of people supporting her, she would have lost millions of Jewish voters and lost even harder.

Weapons shipments aren’t part of the deal, as I said, she repeatedly called for a cease fire, a hostage release, and a two-state solution.
Israel has the right to defend itself from repeated attacks by Iran, we will continue supplying weapons to do that, what Israel chooses to do with those supplies is on them, not us.
