President Joe Biden is engaging in a political battle against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by meeting with Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s potential rival.
Gantz, from the Blue and White Party, arranged a trip to Washington without Netanyahu’s approval.
The Biden administration’s frustration with Netanyahu’s government, seen as leaning towards the far-right, is evident.
Biden’s actions aim to replace Netanyahu, who has opposed Democratic pressure on war conduct and nuclear deals with Iran.
The meeting with Gantz is perceived to divide the Israeli public and empower Hamas.
Biden justifies his stance as concern for Israel’s international support, but American support for Israel remains strong despite White House efforts.
