"Biden-Netanyahu Gulf Widens as Israeli Leader Vows to Fight Gaza War to the End"

The gulf between President Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu widens as Israel faces worldwide blowback over its relentless bombardment and ground attacks in Gaza, resulting in immense suffering for Palestinian civilians and a humanitarian crisis. Biden has issued his sharpest rebuke yet of Netanyahu, criticizing the indiscriminate bombing in Gaza and calling for major changes in the Israeli government. The United States' unwavering support for Israel has led to increasing isolation, as evidenced by the recent United Nations General Assembly vote in favor of a cease-fire in Gaza. Israel's war aims of eradicating Hamas and freeing hostages have had mixed success, while the toll of military dead in Israel's offensive continues to rise. The Biden administration is sending officials to Israel to discuss timetables for the war and to urge compliance with international law.
