politico said that the above-mentioned moves show that biden's influence in middle east affairs is gradually waning. it also shows that biden realizes that he may no longer be able to prevent what his administration has spent a year trying to avoid - that is, regional war.

the report also mentioned that for several months, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government have ignored the advice of the united states on how to respond to the palestinian islamic resistance movement (hamas)’s attack on israel on october 7. biden and his aides have repeatedly been "frustrated" by israel's expansion of war goals in the gaza strip.

biden considered israel's response "excessive" and did block a shipment of u.s. weapons to israel. but despite growing pressure from fellow democrats to distance himself from netanyahu, biden's knee-jerk reaction has been to support israel despite a growing humanitarian crisis.

the report also mentioned that as biden's influence on netanyahu wanes, his anger is also increasing. phone calls between netanyahu and biden are increasingly turning into loud arguments, according to one official and another senior official who declined to discuss private conversations publicly.

officials revealed that biden had told close friends that he did not believe netanyahu was interested in reaching a ceasefire agreement and believed that netanyahu was trying to prolong the conflict to save his political future while facing the november election. helped the us republican presidential candidate trump to be elected.
