No surprise on this….
Biden and others have no leverage against the Israeli Prime Minister…
The US just approved a half billion arms for Israel….

The call, in which Biden made clear he expected a ceasefire soon, was more “direct, frank and candid” than any of their previous conversations since the President took office, according to a senior administration official. And Biden — who has a relationship with Netanyahu that stretches back decades — did not hold back, the official added….
