Tensions rise between the US and Israel as Biden prepares to meet Netanyahu, who faces criticism over his Gaza policies. Explore the implications of upcoming meetings with Trump and Harris amidst calls for a ceasefire.


Rising Tensions Between the US and Israel

The ongoing war in the Gaza Strip has increasingly strained relations between Israel and the United States. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a controversial speech to Congress, asserting the need for a 'total victory' against their common adversaries. His remarks have sparked significant backlash from various political factions, including a boycott by several Democratic lawmakers. Critics, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, labeled the speech as one of the worst performances by a foreign leader in Congress, reflecting the growing discontent within the US regarding Netanyahu's policies.

Biden's Potential Shift in Approach

As President Joe Biden prepares to meet with Netanyahu, speculation mounts regarding a potential shift in US policy towards Israel. With Biden no longer constrained by re-election concerns, advisors suggest that he may adopt a firmer stance in negotiations, particularly concerning a ceasefire in Gaza. Biden's recent address emphasized his commitment to humanitarian efforts, signaling a possible recalibration of US-Israel relations amidst increasing international pressure on Israel over the conflict. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen has voiced hopes that Biden will publicly address his frustrations with Netanyahu's approach to the crisis.

Netanyahu's Strategic Meetings with Trump and Harris

In a significant diplomatic maneuver, Netanyahu is set to meet with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, marking their first encounter since the fallout over the 2020 elections. This meeting comes as Netanyahu seeks to rekindle a favorable relationship with Trump, who previously facilitated pivotal agreements like the Abraham Accords. Additionally, Netanyahu is expected to engage with Vice President Kamala Harris, who has advocated for a balanced approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Harris's upcoming discussions with Netanyahu may focus on ensuring Israel's security while addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
