Updated view on the Israeli leader and his War cabinet?
“As the Biden administration and its allies try to secure an elusive cease-fire in Gaza, Israel appears to have gone rogue,” the New York Times reports.
“Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, came to Washington last week to give a defiant speech. Despite international condemnation, he vowed to continue the war against Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank, where Israel is killing and imprisoning scores of Palestinians each week, without any clear idea of its endgame.”
“The assassinations of senior Hezbollah and Hamas figures abroad have now sharply raised the risks of a larger regional war as Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah prepare retaliation, analysts say.”

Biden AND Harris ARE STILL telling the Israeli Prime Minister they ‘have his back?
