President Biden and other senior U.S. officials are becoming increasingly frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rejection of most of the administration's recent requests related to the war in Gaza, four U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the issue told Axios.
The situation sucks and we are stuck. The president's patience is running out," one U.S. official told Axios.
"At every juncture, Netanyahu has given Biden the finger," Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who has been in close contact with U.S. officials about the war, told Axios. "They are pleading with the Netanyahu coalition, but getting slapped in the face over and over again."

it doesn't matter. Biden said US aid and weapons will continue no matter what, making Biden's grievances utterly irrelevant.
@Dem0cr4tWaspSocialist5mos5MO
It reminds me a lot of how the US liberal-left - the soft left - announces in advance that they will vote Dem no matter what, because of how sacred they are of the GOP, then act surprised that Dems don't care about their complaints.
Unconditional support guarantees irrelevance.
@ConservaBennyGreen5mos5MO
Exactly. The Dems take the votes of certain segments for granted and have no incentive to respect the concerns, wishes or desires of these segments
@Dem0cr4tWaspSocialist5mos5MO
Also liberals are using Benjamin Netanyahu as a scapegoat
Instead of criticizing the genocidal regime of Israel, who as a nation supports everything that’s going on, they blame it all in Bibi and want us to believe if he’s gone Israel will clean up its behavior.
Which is 100% not true

Let’s unpack this: We are supposed to believe Biden’s “patience is running out” with Israel while he offers full political support, gives “emergency” munitions to fuel the slaughter in Gaza and is trying to shield his “great, great friend” Bibi from international law? OK.
I love how aiding and supporting mass killing of civilians these days is referred to as "patience"

Let me explain what this means in plain English. The next handout from America's taxpayers will be slightly less than 14 Billion.
