Although publicly supportive of “Israel” during the crisis, Biden has privately expressed concerns about Netanyahu’s leadership and the readiness of his government to respond to the resistance operation.
A report by Politico on Wednesday revealed that discussions within the Biden administration have been running havoc regarding the future of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political career.
According to the report, the administration believes that Netanyahu’s days in office are numbered.
This assessment is based on factors such as Netanyahu’s weakened political standing due to Israeli intelligence failures during the recent resistance operation and growing international opposition to the Israeli aggression in Gaza, which has resulted in civilian casualties.
The US administration is preparing for potential changes in Israeli leadership and discussing the “day after” scenarios for the Gaza Strip once the fighting ends, including the possibility of sending a multinational force to stabilize the territory.
Although publicly supportive of “Israel” during the crisis, Biden has privately expressed concerns about Netanyahu’s leadership and the readiness of his government to respond to the resistance operation.
In anticipation of a post-Netanyahu era, the Biden administration is engaging with various Israeli politicians, including Benny Gantz, Naftali Bennett, and Yair Lapid.
The administration has had challenges in convincing Netanyahu and his aides to follow their military advice, particularly regarding a humanitarian pause in the fighting.
