"Biden's Advisor Heads to Israel Amidst Unprecedented White House-Netanyahu Tensions: Live Updates"

Tensions between the White House and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are escalating as President Joe Biden faces political backlash for his support of Israel during the recent conflict in Gaza. Biden accused Israel of "indiscriminate" bombing, and a new US intelligence assessment reveals that nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions used by Israel were unguided "dumb bombs." The war in Gaza has isolated Israel internationally, and there are concerns that the White House's support for the operation could compromise wider national security goals. The ongoing toll on Palestinians is also increasing the political price that Biden is paying at home, raising doubts about his ability to invigorate his political coalition ahead of the 2024 election.
