The US president Biden has acknowledged that Netanyahu’s far-right government opposes establishing a Palestinian state.
“This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution”.
Biden’s comments come as his administration repeatedly calls for a two-state solution to the conflict after the war in Gaza.
Washington has said it favours bringing Gaza under the control of the Palestinian Authority – a proposition that Netanyahu has openly rejected.
Palestinian rights advocates have urged Biden to use US leverage – including billions of dollars in aid – to pressure the Israeli government to change its policies towards Palestinians.
The president’s comments on Tuesday, including the remarks that Israel was losing support over its bombing of Gaza, are his most critical of Israel since October 7.
