US President Joe Biden in a telephone conversation with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took a tougher position than this is presented in the official press release. This is reported by New York Times with reference to sources familiar with the course of the conversation.
According to them, in the public communication, Biden prefers to be soft, while personally he can firmly put pressure on the interlocutor. So, in a conversation with Netanyahu, the American leader warned that he was “turned out to be between two lights” because of the support of Israel.
It is about the pressure of the international community and part of the Congress. Some politicians are convinced that the Jewish state is to the same extent responsible for the escalation as the Palestinian movement of Hamas. Biden allegedly pointed out that it would not be able to avoid a neutral position for a long time, because it was already pressed and put on it.
May 15 Biden supported Israel in a conversation with Netanyahu and stressed that he has the right to “defend themselves in response to rocket fires from Hamas and other terrorist groups” from the gas sector.
Some American politicians criticize this position. Thus, a member of the Chamber of Representatives of Rashid Tlaib called on to stop the American financing of the Israeli “apartheid”. The number of supporters of Palestine is growing among Americans: over the last week in different cities of the United States passed mass shares in its support.
