ALBAWABA - Conflicting remarks made by President Joe Biden on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have sparked controversy.
In response to inquiries about his previous remarks on Netanyahu, Biden addressed them at a White House news conference where he unveiled additional border security measures.
Biden hinted that Netanyahu could be prolonging the Gaza conflict for his own political benefit in an interview with Time magazine. "I don't think so," Biden said in response to a question at the news conference about whether he thought Netanyahu was using the conflict as political leverage. "Netanyahu is coping with a significant issue."
The American media has drawn attention to these contradicting claims, highlighting their contradiction. Time magazine quoted Biden as saying that there's good cause for the public to think that "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prolonging the war in Gaza for his political future."
