"Biden Criticizes Netanyahu's Gaza War Handling"

President Biden criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's handling of the conflict with Hamas, calling it a "mistake" and urging for a ceasefire and unhindered access for food and medicine into Gaza. This marks a significant shift in U.S. policy towards Israel and comes amid growing concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The rift between the two leaders has deepened, with the U.S. failing to exercise its veto during a UN Security Council vote censuring Israel, and Netanyahu reportedly calling off a planned delegation visiting the U.S. Biden's comments also come amid speculation of an impending assault on the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, with some U.S. officials believing Netanyahu's statements to be fueled by his domestic political situation.
