'He has a right to defend Israel,' President Biden said of Netanyahu's policy in Gaza, but added the Israeli prime minister must 'pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost'.
Joe Biden has issued his toughest criticism yet of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - but until he backs his words with firm action, they are in danger of ringing hollow. The US president is accusing Netanyahu of 'hurting Israel more than helping it' - criticism that adds to more colourful comments he's said to have used in private. But critics say it is still just talk and Israel is not listening.
Joe Biden may have severe misgivings about Israel's offensive in Gaza but he will not let a single UN resolution pass that censures it. And he continues to approve the supply of substantial amounts of US weaponry to bolster that very same offensive, in the teeth of growing opposition from members of his own party on Capitol Hill. The action he has approved is regarded as token and even counterproductive by many.
