"Biden Bluntly Criticizes Netanyahu's Handling of Israel-Hamas War"

President Biden criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's handling of the Israel-Hamas war, calling it a "mistake" and urging for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid access. While Biden has faced criticism for not backing up his comments with conditions on selling U.S. arms to Israel, he has increasingly publicly criticized Netanyahu amid mounting progressive criticism. The U.S. opposes an Israeli offensive in Rafah, and negotiations for the release of American hostages are ongoing.
