President Biden expressed concerns to Israel’s leaders about the diminishing international support for their actions in the Gaza Strip, creating a divide with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Biden criticized Israel’s indiscriminate bombing and its reluctance towards a two-state solution.

Despite Biden’s pledge to protect Israel, he condemned Netanyahu’s handling of the war, marking a shift in the previously unified stance.
“They’re starting to lose that support by the indiscriminate bombing that takes place,” Biden said of Israel’s European backing.
“There is disagreement about ‘the day after Hamas,’” Netanyahu said.
“After the great sacrifice of our civilians and our soldiers, I will not allow the entry into Gaza of those who educate for terrorism, support terrorism and finance terrorism,” Netanyahu added.
“Gaza will be neither Hamastan nor Fatahstan.”
“We’re not going to do a d— thing other than protect Israel in the process. Not a single thing,” Biden said at his fundraiser.
“Without Israel as a free-standing state, not a Jew in the world is safe,” he said.
“I said, ‘Yeah, that’s why all these institutions were set up after World War II, to see to it that it didn’t happen again,’” Biden said of Netanyahu’s calling out of America’s past atomic bombing.
“I greatly appreciate the American support for destroying Hamas and returning our hostages,” Netanyahu said.
“Following an intensive dialogue with President Biden and his team, we received full backing for the ground incursion and blocking the international pressure to stop the war.”
The situation underscores a delicate moment as Biden seeks additional aid for Israel amidst political disputes.
