This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said in a recent interview released Tuesday that there is “every reason” to think Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prolonging Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza for political gain.
The comment came in an interview conducted by Time magazine on May 28 when Biden was asked if he believes Netanyahu is prolonging the conflict for self-preservation as some in Israel have said.
There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion," Biden said, adding that before the war, Netanyahu was facing blowback for wanting an overhaul of the nation’s judicial system.
When asked if Netanyahu was the only one standing in the way of a package of proposals that might aid in transitioning to a two-state solution, Biden said he had to be careful about what he told Time because he acknowledged the magazine article would come out later on, and he was already in the process of negotiating a possible path forward.
The interview took place last Tuesday, several days before he announced in remarks at the White House on Friday that Israel had submitted a proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The president has faced growing opposition from the far left of the Democratic Party over U.S. policy toward Israel in its efforts to help its close ally.
