Biden Claims There Is ‘Every Reason’ for People Think Netanyahu Is Prolonging Israel’s War for His Political Benefit

President Joe Biden is insisting there is “every reason” to believe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to prolong the war against Hamas for his political benefit.

Speaking to Time, the issue of 🇮🇱Israel’s war against Hamas came up.

The president was asked, “Some in 🇮🇱Israel have suggested that Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political self-preservation. Do you believe that?”

“I’m not going to comment on that,” Biden initially answered.

However, he went on to suggested there is reason for people to believe that is the case:

“There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion. And I would cite that as—before the war began, the blowback he was getting from the Israeli military for wanting to change the constitu—change the court. And so it’s an internal domestic debate that seems to have no consequence. And whether he would change his position or not, it’s hard to say, but it has not been helpful.”
