The relationship between Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu has been respectful but deeply personal. In fact, less than two months ago, the president of the United States of America dared to say publicly that the prime minister of the country of Israel was fighting the war against Hamas for political gain. “There are reasons for people to draw that conclusion,” Biden said during an interview in June when asked directly about the issue, adding that before the war, Netanyahu faced backlash for pushing for court system reform.
“So it’s an internal conflict that seems to have no results. And whether he will change his position or not is difficult to say, but it doesn’t help,” he said then.
Biden? described Israel’s actions in Gaza as “excessive”, Threatened to block some arms shipments and repeatedly forced Netanyahu to scale back and be more precise in his military operation in Soft, the opposition reached a fever pitch when an Israeli strike killed international kitchen workers seven at the beginning of April.
Netanyahu, for his part, has remained firm in his position that the war will not end until Hamas is destroyed, while accusing the Biden Administration of withholding weapons from its close ally, claims that written by US officials. However, when the two met this Thursday in Washington, They only exchanged compliments.
These are two politicians who have known each other for forty years, a fact that Netanyahu raised to thank Biden for his protection of Israel’s security not only since the government, but also during his decades in the Senate. “Defending ourselves on all fronts, I know that the United States supports us and I thank them for that, on all sides of the spectrum,” Netanyahu said.
The US policy of support for Israel is bipartisan, although the public pressure on the Democrats in this new conflict due to the death of civilians in Gaza has increased, in addition to this electoral factor. Young voters who must turn out before November demand more pressure to achieve a repeal.
Overall, Biden’s support for attacking Israel has been one of the most politically toxic issues within his own party for most of the year, with many of his public campaign appearances repeatedly interrupted by protesters demanding a crackdown on Gaza. The Democratic leader’s response to those protests has been consistent: He has repeatedly responded to them by saying that the protesters have reasons, and that many innocent people died in the Palestinian territories.
Finally, it is necessary to achieve the prevention of hostilities, in addition to a path to the future of Gaza after the war, issues that are the experts of the meeting of the two leaders held in the White House, during public demonstrations. in the rejection of Israel’s continued aggression on the streets of Washington.
Both Biden and Netanyahu maintained their forms. During his speech on Wednesday in front of Congress, the Israeli “President” thanked Biden for “everything he has done for the people of Israel,” while calling for more military assistance to “finish the job quickly.” referring to “the destruction. “of Hamas.
Before the meeting, it appeared that the White House was trying to make every effort to convince Netanyahu continued with the ceasefire proposal that worked for weeks. “We are closer than ever,” they said. In contrast, Netanyahu’s speech to Congress 24 hours earlier was more vague about the need to continue the war.
The meeting was also Biden’s first with a world leader since announcing that he would not run in the November election. And the Democrat seems to have entered the final analysis of what his legacy will be. At this point, the decision to end the war between Israel and Hamas that started in October now carries a great weight for him. The road to getting there has been one of sporadic progress in recent months, and Biden and his national security officials have been closely involved in trying to nail down a strategy for stopping the fighting.
No one knows that the main goal of the tenant of the White House is to force Netanyahu to reach an agreement with Hamas that will allow him to declare a declaration in Gaza, where 39,000 people have lost their lives in ten months of war, according to the mathematical perspective. In exchange, Israel should accept the release of the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 and those in the area.
In his speech hours after leaving the election race, Biden has already said that one of his main goals in the six months he leaves power will be to end the war in Gaza, which will be a major achievement for the -own it after completing your campaign.
