President Joe Biden said Tuesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must “change” as dissent around the world continues to grow in response to Israel’s actions following the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas.
Biden, speaking to Democratic donors at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C., said the United States would continue to provide Israel support in its efforts to root out Hamas from Gaza but that he warned Netanyahu about waning public support for Israel’s bombing campaigns among voters.
The president added that Israel is losing support in the U.S. and other countries as civilian casualties mount in Gaza.
“I think he has to change, and with this government, this government in Israel is making it very difficult for him to move,” he continued.
