Behind the scenes: During the call with Biden on Monday, Netanyahu complained about Schumer’s speech and Biden’s endorsement of it. He also claimed the public political attacks against him in the U.S. are interference in Israeli politics, the sources said.

The sources said Biden pushed back and told Netanyahu he is not trying to undermine him and has no intention to intervene in Israeli domestic politics.

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a briefing with reporters on Monday that Netanyahu “did raise his concerns about a variety of things that have come out in the American press.”

Sullivan added that from Biden’s perspective “this is not a question of politics. It’s not a question of public statements. It’s a question of policy and strategy.”

One source said the fact that Netanyahu aired his grievances with Biden helped to somewhat clear the atmosphere.

    Nuclear power is a fail safe, do you want Isreal to be threatened by Iran? Another Nuclear power?

    Iran is not a nuclear power.

        Israel is a nuclear power. Iran is not.

        Since you’ve chosen to lie in order to justify your support for genocide, there’s no point in continuing this conversation.

                  You are American right? So by association what Isreal is doing is your fault. Your tax dollars go to genocide and since you say I support the genocide you must also support genocide. I just support reality while you live in a fantasy
