Biden's speech on Israel

President Joe Biden expressed frustration with Israel's lack of cooperation during the Israel-Hamas war, emphasizing the need to end the conflict without causing civilian casualties. Biden offered assistance in tracking down Hamas leaders but refused to supply Israel with large bombs due to potential harm to civilians. Despite endorsing a plan supported by the U.N. and G-7, he highlighted challenges in resolving the conflict and emphasized the importance of Gaza's future without Israeli occupation. Criticism of Biden's performance in the debate has led to calls for him to step aside, with concerns raised about his fitness to lead, while some suggest prioritizing national interests over personal ambition. Biden's avoidance of mentioning Israel at the NATO summit was seen as a strategic move advised by his team to avoid controversy, contrasting with former President Trump's popularity in Israel for his policy decisions.
