An Israeli newspaper reported today, Saturday, that the ongoing war in Gaza has caused what it described as a "shake in American political thinking" regarding the Middle East. The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv stated in its report: "The confrontational and humiliating behavior of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu towards U.S. President Joe Biden has become evident in the White House, the United Nations, and capitals around the world."
The newspaper added that Netanyahu's conduct towards Biden "not only leads to a temporary breakdown in relations but also to an irreversible rupture between the two sides." It clarified that disdain, personal arrogance, and belittlement in relations with the White House are among Netanyahu's specialties.
Ma'ariv pointed out that Netanyahu's responses to Biden demonstrated disdain and exclusion, noting that "one cannot treat a sympathetic president, one of Israel's biggest supporters, in this manner."
The Israeli newspaper reported that "the ongoing war in Gaza has caused a shake in American political thinking" regarding the Middle East. Ma'ariv emphasized that the U.S. president "has grasped the reality in Israel and its damaged status on the global stage," stressing that Biden had to comment, indicating that the president "clearly distinguished between Netanyahu, the government, and the people of Israel."
It underscored that this move reveals Biden's genuine concern for Israel's position. The Israeli newspaper also mentioned in the report that the war against Hamas has burdened the United States, and Biden's support for Israel is being misunderstood, especially within his own party.
