President Joe Biden has offered his harshest criticism yet of the Israeli government since the Hamas attack on October 7th, saying that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a “tough decision to make.”
At a campaign reception in Washington, D.C., Biden told supporters that Israel’s government is “the most conservative government in [its] history” and that far-right members of the government, like National Security Minister Ben Gvir, do not want a two-state solution with the Palestinians.
The President said that changes must be made to the government and that Netanyahu needs to make them in order to regain support around the world. He added that the Israeli Prime Minister’s government is beginning to lose support and that this could cost Biden votes in the 2024 election.
Biden’s comments come as the Israel-Hamas war continues following the deadly attack and kidnapping of Israeli and international citizens. The President has been vocal in his support for Israel and has condemned Hamas for its actions.
It remains to be seen what changes Netanyahu will make to his government and how it will affect the ongoing conflict. It is clear, however, that Biden is urging the Israeli Prime Minister to make changes in order to restore peace and stability in the region.
