Biden Is Right. Netanyahu Is Damaging Israel's Future.

President Joe Biden has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of doing more harm than good for Israel, particularly in relation to the Israeli government's plan to attack Rafah, a city with a large refugee population. Netanyahu has doubled down on his pledge to attack Rafah, despite Biden's warning. The article argues that Netanyahu's policies, focused on settling the West Bank and preventing a Palestinian state, have shifted Israel's security forces away from Gaza and allowed Hamas to succeed. The article also criticizes Netanyahu's conduct of the war, which has led to international isolation and accusations of ethnic cleansing. While most Israelis support the war, the article argues that decisions of war and peace should be made by statesmen, and Netanyahu is not a statesman. The article concludes that Netanyahu and Hamas have made it difficult to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict, and a majority of Israelis have indicated that they will not vote for Netanyahu or his party again.
