US President Joe Biden made an “unusual” request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , which was to “change the composition of his current government,” according to Reuters.
Biden had announced unconditional support for Israel since the beginning of the war, but the dispute between him and Netanyahu, which began since the formation of the government, is still deep. During the lighting of the Chanukah candles at the White House, , the US President touched on the complex relations with Netanyahu over the years. “I don't agree with you about one damn thing you have to say,” he wrote on an old photo he had of him.
“This is almost the same thing today,” and then Biden received applause from the more than 800 guests, most of whom were American Jews, who also heard him say that he had “differences with some Israeli leaders,” .
Although Biden did not clarify the details of the differences between him and the Israeli Prime Minister, it is known that in recent months they included issues related to Israel’s war with Hamas and its treatment of the Palestinians, and before that the judicial reforms that caused a crisis and Washington’s boycott of Netanyahu.
Biden also said that regardless of his differences of opinion with the Israeli leadership, “his commitment to an independent Jewish state cannot be shaken,” adding that “if Israel did not exist, there would be no safe Jew in the world,”.
