Biden close to “breach” with Netanyahu over Gaza, Washington Post reports

United States President Joe Biden and his top aides are closer to a “breach” with the Israeli Occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than at any time since the aggression against Gaza began, according to The Washington Post.

“The Biden administration no longer views him as a productive partner who can be influenced even in private,” according to several people familiar with their internal discussions cited by the Post.

Frustration has pushed Biden's aides to encourage him to publicly criticize Netanyahu more. However, Biden's response to his aides has been slow, as Netanyahu “continues to infuriate Biden officials with public humiliations and prompt rejections of basic US demands.”
