The recent criticism of President Joe Biden by a far-right minister in Israel's government has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the sensitivity of U.S.-Israel relations during the ongoing offensive against Hamas in Gaza. Although the Biden administration has expressed unwavering support for Israel since the war began, it has also encouraged Israel to prioritize the protection of civilians and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The criticism came from Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, who expressed his dissatisfaction with the current approach taken by the Biden administration. Ben-Gvir argued that Biden's focus on providing humanitarian aid and fuel to Gaza was hindering Israel's efforts in the war against Hamas. He suggested that if former President Donald Trump were in power, the United States would have taken a different approach that provided Israel with more freedom to combat Hamas.
