Netanyahu’s government most conservative government in Israel’s history: Joe Biden

Speaking out against Israel in the midst of its conflict with Hamas terrorists, US President Joe Biden declared that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is the most conservative in the nation’s history.

Speaking to supporters of his 2024 reelection campaign, Biden expressed his harshest criticism of Netanyahu’s leadership of Israel’s war in Gaza to date.

“This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history. This government in Israel is making it very difficult,” Biden said at the fundraiser, specifically mentioning Israel’s far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is Israel’s national security minister.

The US President stated that in the end, Israel “can’t say no” to a Palestinian state, which is opposed by Israeli hardliners.

Additionally, Biden revealed a fresh rift in his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by saying that Israel was losing support due to its “indiscriminate” bombing of Gaza and that Netanyahu needed to change.

“Israel’s security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States. It has the European Union, it has Europe, it has most of the world… But they’re starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing that takes place,” Biden said.

Biden said, “We have an opportunity to begin to unite the region and they still want to do it. But we have to make sure that Bibi (Netanyahu) understands that he’s got to make some moves.”

Biden has voiced his unwavering support for Israel’s military campaign against Hamas terrorists in Gaza on multiple occasions. But he and his group are becoming increasingly concerned about Palestinian civilian deaths.

According to a White House official, Biden will meet on Wednesday with the relatives of Americans who were kidnapped by Hamas during its October 7 attack, which claimed 1,200 lives.

Over 50,000 Palestinians have been injured in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group, which has resulted in 18,000 Palestinian deaths.
