President Joe Biden has stepped up public pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, warning he's “hurting Israel” and speaking candidly about “come to Jesus” conversations with the leader over the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
FILE - President Joe Biden speaks at a campaign rally March 9, 2024, in Atlanta. Biden has stepped up public pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, but despite his increasing public frustration, Israeli officials and Middle East analysts don’t see signs that Biden can push Israel to fundamentally alter how it’s prosecuting the conflict.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz downplayed Biden’s comments, saying the U.S. backed Israel’s war aims and that was what mattered. “We must distinguish rhetoric from the essence,” he told Israeli Army Radio. Netanyahu, however, has consistently opposed establishing a Palestinian state throughout his political career.
“Netanyahu earned that criticism, but on the other hand when criticizes Netanyahu personally, he thinks he improves his standing among progressives,” Gilboa said. Biden administration officials pushed back against the idea that the president has become more outspoken in his criticism of Netanyahu with an eye on his 2024 prospects.
