Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Clashes with US President Biden over Gaza War Stance

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected comments made by US President Joe Biden regarding his handling of the war in Gaza, escalating tensions between the two leaders.

During an interview, Biden expressed concerns that Netanyahu’s approach to the conflict was harming Israel more than helping it, urging for more attention to be paid to the loss of innocent lives in Gaza.

Netanyahu responded by stating that he believes his policies align with the majority of Israelis and serve the interests of Israel.

In the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza, Biden emphasized the importance of defending Israel while also expressing red lines, particularly regarding potential actions in Rafah.

Efforts to establish a sea corridor from Cyprus to deliver aid to Gaza have faced delays, with logistical challenges hindering the process.

The UN has highlighted the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where a quarter of the population is on the brink of starvation.

Netanyahu’s failure to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas has led to public protests in Israel, with calls for early elections gaining momentum.

The situation in Gaza remains tense, with no ceasefire agreement in sight as the conflict enters its fifth month.

Despite international pressure, including aid shipments and calls for reform within the Palestinian Authority, the conflict shows no signs of immediate resolution.
