The first was to put the sword to Netanyahu, the next will be to cut off arms supplies to Israel?

Hamas launched a war against Israel on October 7 with a massacre that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 people and the kidnapping of 257 others. Israel’s response was immediate and brutal. Netanyahu He promised a total victory that would result in the destruction of Hamas, and the result is for the world to see: Gaza is a mass of deserters and dead, and the people will tend to be seen as victims, sometimes seen as villains by the world.

Netanyahu has ido losing nicknames with the step of months. First there were a few Europeans who raised their voices. Then they would count those who would lower the tone of their defense. Enormous internal and external pressure forced him into a compromise position for six months Biden. How do you stand as the President of the United States in this war? How do we remain loyal to the current Israeli government without losing the benefit of thousands upon thousands of voters a month from anti-Trump elections?

Many have forgotten what Biden said on his first trip to Israel over the Hamas attack. It was very important. “Entiendo vuestra rabia,” I told the traumatized community. “Pero nos dejéis consumer por ella.” He helped a little. Netanyahu implemented this idea. And six months later, the United States appears to be losing patience. With the support of his countries, Biden allowed a UN Security Council resolution to be tabled for a permanent fire in Gaza and the immediate release of all Hamas prisoners.

It is an extraordinary change in the position of the United States, especially as the Biden administration tries to publicly address the implications. This action sends a very clear signal and is consistent with, for example, recent statements by the Democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Summerswhich he signaled to Netanyahu as an “obstacle to peace”.

So it’s only natural that we’re all curious to see what the next one will be like. And all this will have some effect on Netanyahu. For now, we do not know that the binding resolution of the UN Security Council will be respected. But we know our first reaction: to cancel a planned meeting between representatives of the American and Israeli governments to deal with the next phases of the war.

Biden taught Netanyahu the limits of his friendship. But Netanyahu has shown it before. And this is malicia, as we call the philosopher Susan Neiman In one interview, Israel’s first prime minister conducts a furious campaign in favor of Trump.

Now the situation between Washington and Tel Aviv is vulnerable to deterioration. And with all that tension we leave behind another problem. Hey there goes one of them. If Netanyahu goes ahead with this resolution, how many guess how Biden will react? Will he work with the mill wheels or cut Netanyahu’s arms minister, like so many voters?
