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:
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.
