Benjamin Netanyahu

On Wednesday President Joe Biden said the United States would not provide offensive weapons for a Rafah offensive, raising pressure on Netanyahu.
“I’m glad to see that the president is beginning, beginning to move in that direction,” the Vermont senator said.
The stunning diplomatic shift would appear to be the first instance of the Biden administration withholding U.S. arms from Israel since Oct. 7.
The extraordinary order is believed to be the first time Israel has ever shuttered a foreign news outlet.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to launch an incursion into a Gaza city sheltering hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
The Vermont senator upped his rhetoric against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the U.S.-funded military offensive in the Palestinian enclave.
"It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions," the progressive senator told the Israeli prime minister.
"I think there’s no excuse to not provide for the medical and the food needs of those people,” the president said of Palestinians in need of humanitarian aid.
“Victory requires entering Rafah and eliminating the terrorist battalions there,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video announcement.
"I can't believe we're sitting here six months later, and having to experience the terror every day," hostage Omer Neutra's father told Jake Tapper.
