US relations with Israel’s governing coalition may well be at their worst point in recent memory as a key ally of President Joe Biden in the US Senate went on TV on Sunday and publicly trashed Benjamin Netanyahu’s wartime leadership and accused him of harming the peace process.
Senator Chris Coons, a centrist Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation this weekend and defended Mr Biden’s response to the conflict in Gaza while painting Mr Netanyahu as an unreliable partner for the United States.
