U.S. President Joe Biden is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the 100-day assault on the Gaza Strip, according to Axios. Despite public support, behind the scenes, there are signs of impatience as Netanyahu rejects most of Washington's recent requests regarding the conflict.
U.S. officials express frustration, acknowledging a tense situation with the President's patience running thin. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen notes Netanyahu's inclination to listen to far-right ministers over U.S. input, resulting in repeated dismissals of pleas to the coalition. Biden has not engaged with Netanyahu for the past 20 days, and their last conversation, occurring on December 23, ended on a tense note with Netanyahu rejecting a request to release withheld Palestinian tax revenues.
Furthermore, Biden and his advisers believe Israel is inadequately facilitating humanitarian aid into Gaza. The Israeli regime initiated the Gaza war on October 7 in response to Hamas' Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, protesting the Israeli regime's atrocities against Palestinians.
