As Netanyahu irks both allies and adversaries, including staunch supporter Joe Biden, parallels are drawn to Mick Jagger's lyrics: "He can't get no satisfaction." Netanyahu's political survival hinges on prolonging the conflict, while Biden seeks resolution before November. Amidst this, global geopolitics remains in limbo, enveloped in uncertainty.
In a thought-provoking article dissecting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's current political predicament, former diplomat and Fair Observer board member Gary Grappo outlines the mounting pressure threatening Bibi's grip on power. Not only are members of his own team nearing revolt, but even staunch supporter US President Joe Biden seems to be growing impatient with Bibi's failure to rein in his ministers' enthusiasm for aggressive acts under the guise of self-defense.
Despite Biden's consistent support for Israel, recent hesitations in supplying munitions suggest a shift in tone. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has sought an arrest warrant for Netanyahu as a war criminal, with the International Court of Justice ordering a halt to Israeli military operations in Rafah, designated as a safe zone.
Grappo indicates a change in Washington's stance, noting Biden's frustration with Netanyahu's handling of the Gaza crisis and governance plans post-war. The term "satisfactorily" in this context suggests a nuanced approach to assessing Israel's conduct, indicating an evolution in the ethical framework within Washington's corridors of power
