President Biden Says Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu’s Approach To Gaza War Is ‘Mistake’ 

The United States’ President, Joe Biden, has described Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s approach to the war in Gaza as a “mistake.” 

This was disclosed during an interview published on Tuesday, offering further criticism of Israel’s handling of the conflict.

“I think what he’s doing is a mistake. I don’t agree with his approach,” Biden said in comments to Univision, a U.S. Spanish-language TV network.

SaharaReporters had reported how the US government under Biden earlier asked the Israeli administration to immediately cease fire in the ongoing war against Hamas militants in Gaza.

This was stated in a press release issued by the White House last Thursday, declaring its strongest public rebuke toward Israel since the start of the Gaza war. 

The US government had also asked the Israeli government to address the safety of aid workers and Palestinian civilians

This position of the US government was clearly stated by President Biden in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following an Israeli attack on a World Central Kitchen charity convoy this week that killed seven food aid workers. The White House had said Biden “made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers.”
