In an interview with several western media outlets on Sunday cited by the Palestinian Sama news agency, Netanyahu said he did not know what Biden meant with his remarks. “If he meant by that that I’m pursuing private policies against the majority, the wish of the majority of Israelis, and that this is hurting the interests of Israel, then he’s wrong.”
The Zionist premier was reacting to Biden criticism on Saturday that Netanyahu was making a ‘big mistake’ by not doing enough to protect civilians and it ‘is hurting Israel’ more than helping it.
“We cannot have 30,000 more Palestinians dead,” Biden said.
But Netanyahu claimed that Biden was ‘wrong on both counts’ as an ‘overwhelming majority’ of Israelis supported his (war) policy.
Israeli PM in hot water
During his interview, Netanyahu however fell short of mentioning growing rage among Israelis against the war and calls for him and his far-right cabinet to resign.
Over the past five months, Tel Aviv and occupied al-Quds have witnessed demonstrations almost on a daily basis by settlers and the families of Zionist captives held by Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza.
Some of the protests against Netanyahu and his far-right cabinet also turned violent as police used force to disperse them in recent weeks.
On Sunday night, the protesters once again gathered in front of the Ministry of War of this regime in Tel Aviv and demanded an ceasefire agreement with Hamas for the release of the Israeli captives.
The Israel regime is also facing denunciation worldwide over the Gaza genocide; with people keep hitting the streets to vent their anger at Israel and its western backers.
As part of a week-long humanitarian ceasefire, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, fighting was paused and humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza in December. It also saw an exchange of 240 Palestinian abductees with 105 captives, including 81 Israelis and 24 foreigners, in Gaza.
