Biden says Netanyahu must 'change' amid growing US dissent with Israel war
[Washington Examiner] 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.

"Bibi's got a tough decision to make," Biden told the group Tuesday. "This is the most conservative government in Israel's history."

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.

Biden's remarks Tuesday mark his greatest departure from supporting Netanyahu's military campaign as Democratic voters and lawmakers pressure him to end the fighting in Gaza.

Biden and top officials, including National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, have all reiterated calls for a two-state solution after the fighting ends.
