"Biden-Netanyahu bond tested as Israel crisis unfolds"

The recent attack by Palestinian militants on Israel has revived the strained relationship between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden. While Biden had been critical of Netanyahu's efforts to overhaul Israel's judiciary, the attack has refocused their attention on ensuring Israel's security. The crisis has also highlighted the growing divisions within the Democratic Party over Israel. In the short term, the attack is likely to unite Israelis and increase Republican pressure on Biden to support Israel and take a tougher stance against Iran. Biden is expected to be supportive of Netanyahu during this time, but he may face pressure to ease up on retribution against the Palestinians. The long-term implications of the attack and the ongoing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians remain uncertain.
