Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu visits Trump in Florida
Netanyahu defended Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip in a speech before the US Congress in Washington on Wednesday. On Thursday, he was received at the White House by Biden. In Congress, Netanyahu was welcomed with applause and cheers from Republicans, while Biden's Democrats clearly distanced themselves. The relationship between Biden and Netanyahu is tense, following Biden's repeated criticisms of Israel's military operations in the past few months.
- During his speech, Netanyahu regarded Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip as necessary and justified, a stance commonly echoed on Fox News.
- Upon returning to Florida after his Washington visit, President Biden was asked about his meeting with Netanyahu and his criticisms of Israel.
- In response to Biden's criticisms, some U.S. Congress members, particularly from the Republican party, were vocal supporters of Israel, often appearing on Fox News to voice their opinions.
- The Government Chief in Washington expressed his concern about the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip to both Biden and Netanyahu, emphasizing the need for peace and diplomacy.
- In contrast to Biden, his predecessor, Donald Trump, with a close personal relationship with Netanyahu, often praised Israel's actions and was a frequent critic of Biden on Fox News.
- The Democratic party, led by Biden, has faced criticism for their perceived lack of support for Israel in the Gaza Strip, a stance that has been a point of contention between the U.S. President and Binyamin Netanyahu.
