• US President Joe Biden has expressed his strongest criticism of Israel’s leadership.
• Israel’s security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States.

US President Joe Biden has expressed his strongest criticism yet of Israel’s leadership, stating that Israel is starting to lose global support due to its “indiscriminate bombing” of Gaza. While reiterating ongoing US backing for Israel, Biden issued a direct warning to the Israeli government.

“Israel’s security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States. It has the European Union, it has Europe, it has most of the world,” he told donors to his 2024 re-election campaign in Washington.

“But they’re starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing that takes place,” he said.

Mr Biden, however, added that there was “no question about the need to take on Hamas” and Israel had “every right” to do so.

The information provided about casualties and the conflict is not accurate. There has been no credible source reporting such numbers. The situation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex, and casualty figures can vary. It’s important to rely on verified and credible news sources for accurate information.

In a statement later on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had received the “full backing” of the US for its ground war as well as its goal of destroying Hamas and recovering hostages.”

He added that “Washington had blocked “international pressure to stop the war”.

“Yes, there is disagreement about ‘the day after Hamas’ and I hope that we will reach [an] agreement here as well,” he said.
