Labid and Gantz Attack Ben Gvir After Allegations Against Biden

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir faced criticism from Israeli opposition leader Yair Labid and Israeli war council member Benny Gantz following his comments about U.S. President Joe Biden. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Ben Gvir stated that Biden "instead of giving us full support, is busy providing humanitarian aid to Gaza; if Trump were president, the U.S. response would have been completely different." He added, "I believe the Biden administration is hindering Israel's war effort." In response, Labid noted that "Ben Gvir has proven he understands nothing about foreign policy and Netanyahu has no control over the extremists in his government," and continued that "Ben Gvir's comments are a direct attack on Israel's international standing and jeopardize its security." Similarly, Gantz stated that "Netanyahu must order Ben Gvir to stop harming Israel's foreign relations."
