President Joe Biden has said that there is “every reason” to believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is continuing his assault on Gaza for political gain, appearing to acknowledge that Netanyahu is not interested in pulling out of the region despite the Biden administration’s insistence that the latest ceasefire deal is backed by Israel.
In an interview with Time Magazine published on Tuesday, Biden was asked: “Some in Israel have suggested that Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political self-preservation. Do you believe that?”
