Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed concern in a recent interview about President Biden’s decision to withhold certain weapons from Israel, fearing it could lead to civilian casualties in Gaza.
Netanyahu emphasized the importance of precision weaponry to minimize civilian harm, citing the challenge of targeting Hamas militants who hide among civilian populations.
Biden’s stance on withholding weapons is tied to Israel’s military actions in specific areas like Rafah, a Hamas stronghold.
Netanyahu affirmed his commitment to addressing the Hamas threat, even if it strains Israel’s international alliances.
Despite past disagreements with Biden, Netanyahu expressed hope for resolving differences and reiterated Israel’s determination to protect its security and future by confronting Hamas in places like Rafah.
The conflict has led to Palestinian displacement and raised concerns among Western nations about civilian casualties.
Biden has emphasized his stance on withholding certain weaponry if Israel enters areas like Rafah.
This decision affects a planned shipment of bombs to Israel.
Meanwhile, anti-Israel protests have reemerged in the United States, notably on college campuses, reflecting growing tensions over the conflict.
