President Joe Biden offered one of his sharpest rebukes of Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza during an interview airing Tuesday, describing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approach to the conflict as a “mistake” and calling for a halt to the fighting.
When talking to someone you need to use arguments they care about. This means that when talking to Likud and their supporters you need to talk less about how their actions are an international crime and more about how they are increasing the risk of the retaliation and eroding Israel's international support base at the same time.
This is a big step. Finally prioritizing putting things right with Israel is historical. Let's hope he goes further down that road and looks at sanctions.
