However, he criticized Israeli Prime
Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden emphasized the importance of avoiding
civilian casualties resulting from pursuing Hamas, urging alternative
approaches to the situation, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
He expressed concern that Netanyahu's
actions might harm Israel's international standing and expressed his desire for
a six-week ceasefire in Gaza, along with a significant prisoner exchange.
Despite recent public disagreements,
Biden reiterated American support for Israel's right to defend itself and hinted at strained relations with
Netanyahu.
Biden also suggested that there is a
possibility of reaching a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, stating, "I will
not give up on that."
In recent weeks, public disputes between
Biden and Netanyahu have surfaced regarding the management of the war on Gaza and
the future of the sector after the fighting stopped. However, these disputes
have not reached a point of cessation or changing the nature of American
support for Tel Aviv.
In previous statements, Biden mentioned
that Israel has begun to lose global support due to what he described as its
indiscriminate bombing of Gaza. Nonetheless, he reiterated that Tel Aviv can
rely on American support and emphasized his support for "its right to
defend itself."
President Biden also hinted at existing
disagreements in his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, affirming that the latter is in a "difficult position."
