President Joe Biden stated on Tuesday that Israels prime minister must alter his staunch government policies and that support for the countrys military campaign is dwindling due to the intense bombing of Gaza. Addressing Democratic donors in Washington, Biden emphasized that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a "difficult choice."
Biden stated that the current Israeli government is the most conservative in the country's history and does not support a two-state solution. He also expressed concern that Israel is losing global support and urged Netanyahu to make significant changes in the government to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Biden's recent remarks on the ongoing conflict have been some of his most honest yet. While he has publicly supported Netanyahu, there is growing evidence of a difference in opinion, especially as the civilian casualties in Gaza increase.
Biden has been urging Netanyahu to take further measures to minimize civilian casualties during phone calls, however, senior administration officials have indicated that there is a disparity between Israel's intentions and the actual situation on the ground.
This is an ongoing news story and will be continuously updated.
