Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reaffirmed his commitment to achieving 'total victory' in the ongoing conflict with Hamas, despite mounting criticism from the United States. The U.S., a key ally of Israel, has expressed concerns over the civilian death toll in Gaza and urged Israel to seek a cease-fire.
President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have publicly criticized Netanyahu's leadership, with Schumer even calling for a new election. However, Netanyahu remains steadfast in his resolve to press on with the military campaign.
