Biden Continues Political War Against Netanyahu with Gantz DC Meetings

President Joe Biden continues to wage a political war against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by holding high-level meetings in Washington Sunday with Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s main likely political rival in future elections.

Gantz leads the opposition Blue and White Party, and currently serves with Netanyahu in an emergency government of national unity. However, according to Israeli media, Gantz accepted or arranged the trip without telling Netanyahu.

The Times of Israel reported:

War cabinet minister Benny Gantz was set to travel to Washington for talks with senior officials on Sunday, reportedly infuriating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who did not authorize the trip and was said to chastise him that the country has only one premier.
Among those Gantz will meet are US Vice President Kamala Harris, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and Republican and Democratic members of US Congress, his office said in a statement Saturday.

His visit to the US comes as the Biden administration has grown increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu and his government which is seen as beholden to its far-right members.
The visit was first reported by the Israeli news website Ynet.

Biden has been trying to undermine Netanyahu since the Israeli leader was elected in late 2022. He briefly showed solidarity with Netanyahu in September 2023, when there was the possibility of a Saudi-Israeli peace deal, and in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas terror attack of October 7. But he and his administration continued to work to find a replacement for a leader who has resisted Democrat pressure on the conduct of the war and on nuclear deals with Iran.
