Netanyahu and Biden spar over Israel-Gaza war support

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden have clashed over their respective positions on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Netanyahu has insisted that Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas rocket attacks, while Biden has called for a ceasefire and expressed support for Palestinian rights.

The two leaders have exchanged heated words in public statements, with Netanyahu accusing Biden of “taking the side of terrorists” and Biden urging Netanyahu to de-escalate the situation and work towards a peaceful resolution.

The conflict, which has been ongoing for over a week, has resulted in numerous casualties on both sides and has drawn international condemnation for the high civilian death toll in Gaza.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the relationship between Israel and the US will be affected by the differing approaches of Netanyahu and Biden.
