US President Joe Biden awaits Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s response following his final warning and political ultimatum.
"We won't support you": Inside Biden's ultimatum to Bibi. POTUS put his own and America’s credibility on the line by trying to change how Israel keeps fighting in The Gaza Strip.
Now, he waits to see how far Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will yield to the most significant tonal and strategic directional change by the US administration since the war. began.
The question is will President Biden take the next step of conditioning the terms of US support for Israel in a war that was triggered by Hamas terror attacks in Israel that killed 1,200 people, at that time, Hamas was widely recognized as a terrorist organization by numerous countries and international bodies, including the United States, the European Union, Israel, Canada, and others.
However, since then the Israelis have reportedly killed ten times more and threatened the lives of innocent Palestinian civilians. President Biden And Bibi Netanyahu go way back: The fraught friendship between these two leaders is now at a crossroads.
Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s rival and fellow war cabinet member, called for new elections in September. This followed the biggest demonstrations against the Israeli leader since the start of the war. Protests are being fueled by relatives of more than 100 Israelis held hostage or unaccounted for in Gaza who accuse him of doing too little to return them. Netanyahu also faces a controversy about exemptions to military service for attendees at Orthodox religious schools, which threatens to splinter his coalition.
The Gaza Strip is a polity and the smaller of the two Palestinian territories. On the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Gaza is bordered by Egypt on the southwest and Israel on the east and north. The territory came into being when it was controlled by Egypt during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war and became a refuge for Palestinians who fled or were expelled during the 1948 Palestine War.
