Biden tells Netanyhu
2023-11-02
[The Times of Israel]Report: Biden indicated to Netanyahu he believes his days in office are numbered.
Certainly his State Department has been working to make it so, using the anti-judicial overhaul protesters.
US President Joe Biden and his aides reportedly believe that Benjamin Netanyahu’s days as Israel’s prime minister are numbered in the fallout of the war in Gaza.

Biden has even conveyed this sentiment to the prime minister, suggesting to Netanyahu during the president’s wartime visit to Israel last month that the premier think about lessons he’d want to relay to his successor, Politico reports, citing two senior administration officials.

A third US official says that the expectation within the administration is that Netanyahu would only be able to remain in power for a few more months or until the early phase of Israel’s ground incursion into Gaza ends. However, all officials acknowledged the volatility of Israeli politics, which serves as a caveat to their speculations.

#6  Thinking of Bibi here, though I suppose it works on the crazy side of the looking glass too...

Might a patriot, late in the game,
Not spend for the state his good name
On the making of plots...
And the taking of shots
And the lion's share, maybe, of blame?

#5  Me too Rambler but that would require at least a modicum of self-awareness which Biden does not have.

Ah, the hopeful hysteresis of pronouns.

#2  Legacy thinking? Total Rubbish! Biden lacks the cognitive ability to select from a menu or play checkers.

Never a case of "found ballot boxes" in Israel.
