Biden says Israel's military campaign is starting to lose support

 

In some of his strongest public comments to date acknowledging criticism of Israel's retaliatory campaign in Gaza, U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that the country was starting to lose support around the world due to what he said was "the indiscriminate bombing that takes place," Paralel.Az reports citing ABC News.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a "tough decision to make," Biden said during a fundraising event, while noting that Netanyahu understands that "he's got to make some moves to strengthen [the Palestinian Authority] -- strengthen it, change it, move it."

"You cannot say there's no Palestinian state at all in the future. And that's going to be the hard part," he added, according to a transcript of his remarks at a closed-door reception in Washington.

Biden said the current Israeli administration is "the most conservative government in Israel's history," adding that some members of Israel's leadership "don't want a two-state solution," which is viewed by the U.S. and many other allies to Israel as the most likely pathway to peace.
