  • Biden's patience with Netanyahu is running out: Ex-Israeli diplomat

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to bring out disagreements with the United States administration to the public, the former Israeli Consul General in New York City Alon Pinkas wrote for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The former Israeli diplomat said individuals close to US President Joe Biden are aware of Netanyahu's attempts to intertwine his fate with "Israel's", as he works on surfacing the crisis with the Biden administration to save himself from internal issues that plague his political career.

Pinkas said the US President's patience with Netanyahu is running out, adding that Washington believes that extending the occupation's military activities in the Gaza Strip for another two months will not change the equation. He said the US asserts that Hamas' capabilities can only be appropriated via political means rather than military means.

He said that "Israel's" inability to look past "the cannon barrel and the missile" will definitely lead to a strategic regional turning point of unintended consequences. The diplomat said Netanyahu's attempts to drag the US into a broader regional war "is too transparent."

Netanyahu no longer a reliable ally

The diplomat also revealed that the US does not trust Netanyahu, since he has lost his credibility and he is no longer "an ally that can be trusted." Biden asserts that Netanyahu is pushing "Israel" out of the sphere of shared values that have awarded the two entities a special relationship.

Concurrently, a new position is crystallizing in the Biden administration in which Netanyahu is viewed as an official in political distress seeking confrontation with Biden, in order to illude the public. For Washington, Netanyahu will attempt to frame Biden for preventing him from achieving a decisive and reality-changing victory in Gaza, Pinkas wrote.

Netanyahu's previous statements accused the Israeli Chief of Staff, the Head of Intelligence, the Southern Command, and the head of the Shin Bet, which were not enough for the incumbent Prime Minister to evade failure. as per Pinkas.

He concluded by saying, "The moment when Biden's patience runs out, and when he sharply distinguishes between his support for Israel and Netanyahu's behavior, is approaching."

It is worth noting that the US has not publicly decried or opposed the actions of the Israeli government. Instead, it has declared its support to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on every occasion, claiming over and over again that it is working with Israeli officials to "limit" civilian casualties, while the rising casualties say otherwise.
