Biden urges Netanyahu to ‘transform’ amid increasing US disapproval of Israel conflict
President Biden Urges Netanyahu to Adapt Amid Growing Global Dissent
President Joe Biden emphasized the need for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “change” in response to the increasing global dissent following Israel’s actions after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas. Speaking at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C., Biden assured Democratic donors that the United States would continue supporting Israel’s efforts to eliminate Hamas from Gaza. However, he also expressed concern about the diminishing public support for Israel’s bombing campaigns.
“Bibi’s got a tough decision to make,” Biden told the group. “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history.”
Biden acknowledged that Israel is losing support not only in the U.S. but also in other countries due to the increasing number of civilian casualties in Gaza. He emphasized the need for Netanyahu to adapt, highlighting the challenges posed by the current Israeli government.
This marks a significant departure from Biden’s previous support for Netanyahu’s military campaign, as pressure from Democratic voters and lawmakers mounts for an end to the fighting in Gaza. Biden and top officials, including National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, have consistently called for a two-state solution once the conflict subsides.
Protests advocating for a ceasefire have erupted across American cities, with one notable incident involving police confronting approximately 150 protesters outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. These protesters aimed to urge DNC staffers and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to push Biden for a swift resolution to the conflict.
Furthermore, Biden’s key legislative allies, particularly those from his home state of Delaware, have become increasingly vocal in monitoring future support for Israel’s military.
How has the international backlash against Israel’s actions impacted the public support for Israel’s bombing campaigns?

This stance marks a significant departure from Biden’s previous support for Netanyahu’s military campaign. Pressure from Democratic voters and lawmakers has been mounting for an end to the fighting in Gaza. Biden, along with top officials like National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, has consistently called for a two-state solution once the conflict subsides.
Across American cities, protests advocating for a ceasefire have erupted. One notable incident involved police confronting approximately 150 protesters outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. These protesters aimed to urge DNC staffers and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to push Biden for a swift resolution to the conflict.
In addition to the public protests, Biden’s key legislative allies, particularly those from his home state of Delaware, have become increasingly vocal in scrutinizing future support for Israel’s military.
President Biden’s call for Netanyahu to adapt reflects the growing discontent and concern both domestically and globally over the escalating conflict in Gaza. The increasing civilian casualties, combined with pressure from within the Democratic Party, have forced Biden to reassess his support for Israel’s military actions. As the dissent continues to grow, it remains to be seen how Netanyahu will respond and whether there will be any significant changes in Israel’s approach to the conflict.
The situation in Gaza highlights the complexities and challenges of finding a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Biden’s emphasis on a two-state solution offers hope for a peaceful resolution in the future. However, it is crucial for all parties involved to work towards a sustainable peace that addresses the concerns and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians. As the international community continues to express its dissent, the pressure for a resolution will increase, and the need for adaptability from leaders like Netanyahu becomes even more critical.
