The Israeli newspaper Haaretz addressed US President Joe Biden, telling him that the problem is not the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or its extremist ministers such as Itamar Ben Gvir and others, but rather the problem is Netanyahu himself.
The newspaper mentioned this in an editorial in response to what Biden said last Tuesday that Israel had begun to lose the support of the international community, and that Netanyahu must change his policies and his government if he wanted to end the conflict with the Palestinians.
Do him a favor
The newspaper also said that Biden did Netanyahu a favor when he described him as “a good friend and must change his policies,” adding that Biden is a true friend of Israel, and this is why he supports Israel in its difficult moments, and this is why he does everything in his power to explain to it. The difficulties you face.
The Haaretz editorial also referred to Biden’s later clarification that the current Israeli government is the most conservative government in Israel’s history, and to his saying that he had gotten to know all the government leaders in Israel since Golda Meir, and “the group in the current government is a different group… Ben Gvir and his partners who do not “They want to get closer to the two-state solution.”
The truth is worse
The newspaper returned to tell Biden that the truth is worse than what he said, because “Netanyahu’s government is completely conservative, right-wing, extremist, and religious. It changed the regime in Israel and dreams of annexing the Palestinian territories.”
She also said that Ben Gvir and his party in the cabinet are not the only ones who reject the two-state solution. “Netanyahu himself prefers to escape the two-state option, as he has been doing for years.”
She explained that Netanyahu turned his objection to the establishment of a Palestinian state into a major topic in his campaign for survival that he is carrying out these days, and that is why he was also quick to respond to Biden’s reasonable words and “clarified his position” that he would not allow Israel to repeat the Oslo mistake by saying, “Gaza will not be Hamastan or Fatehistan.” “.
Haaretz concluded its editorial by saying that Netanyahu does not work for the benefit of Israel, but only for his political survival, “Biden, the problem is not Ben Gvir and the new people, the problem is Netanyahu.”
