Biden Netanyahu election influence, Regarding whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is holding up a ceasefire agreement in Gaza in order to affect the next US election, President Joe Biden has voiced doubts. “Whether he’s trying to influence the election, I don’t know – but I’m not counting on that,” Biden said at a White House press briefing.
Biden reaffirmed his support for Israel, adding that no administration has done more for the country. He also made a suggestion that Netanyahu need to realize this. Regarding Netanyahu’s refusal to consent to a ceasefire and hostage release agreement, several Democrats have expressed concern that this could be a ploy to hurt the Democratic Party’s chances in the November election.
According to polls, Biden’s support rating is being impacted by the prolonged fighting in Gaza and the absence of a diplomatic settlement, especially among Arab-Americans. The Democratic Party would gain from a cease-fire agreement, but one is becoming less and less plausible in the run-up to the election. After months of US efforts to mediate a settlement, Biden has expressed irritation with Netanyahu for not doing enough to reach an agreement.
Contrary to American reports that an agreement was almost finalized, Netanyahu has refuted allegations that a deal is imminent. Biden and Netanyahu’s tense relationship stands in stark contrast to Netanyahu’s closer ties with the current Republican nominee, former president Donald Trump.
Israel has hinted at a potential response to a recent Iranian missile attack while continuing its strikes on Gaza. While admonishing that Israel hasn’t decided on a course of action, Biden proposed looking into options other than attacking Iran’s oil fields.
