The relationship between the US and Israel is growing more strained as they clash over key policy demands The US has called on Israel to scale back their bombardment and begin plans for the post-war landscape
But Netanyahu accused his 'American friends' of trying to 'coerce' them and said 'we will not settle for anything short of an absolute victory'
The rift between Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu deepened on Thursday as the Israeli Prime Minister accused the US of trying to 'coerce' Israel.
In an interview on national TV, Netanyahu rejected US calls to scale back Israel´s military offensive in the Gaza Strip and take steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state after the war.
Netanyahu accused the US of trying to 'coerce' Israel into a situation which would 'endanger' the country and said 'we will not settle for anything short of an absolute victory'.
The Biden administration is desperately seeking to distance itself from the conflict ahead of this year's general election
But in a nationally televised news conference, Netanyahu struck a defiant tone, repeatedly saying that Israel would not halt its offensive until it realizes its goals of destroying Gaza´s Hamas militant group and bringing home all remaining hostages held by Hamas.
He rejected claims by a growing chorus of Israeli critics that those goals are not achievable, vowing to press ahead for many months.
He said: 'We will not settle for anything short of an absolute victory.'
Israel launched its offensive after an unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7 that killed 1,200 people and took some 250 others hostage.
Roughly 130 hostages are believed by Israel to remain in Hamas captivity. The war has stoked tensions across the region, threatening to ignite other conflicts.

Fine, give them full Israeli citizenship.
The goal of the Palestinians (Muslims) is to make Israel disappear, and that is not negotiable.
Thanks for the correction.
Tell President Retard to shove it up his butt
I’d rather bury them in the Med, or the Red Sea than have them on the border of the US, considering what the Southern border is like, I’m sure the Northern order isn’t any better.
Good for Bibi!
Never ever in eternity will there ever be another concession to the Fakestinian Occupiers of the Jewish Promised Land, never....
and Biden and his idiots KNOW this.
so why do they keep mouthing off ?
because they think it might buy them what?
it only embarrasses themselves
(and embarrasses America) to keep repeating such idiotic rubbish.
It does tend to prolong the Arab terrorists attacks...which could be the plan.... to keep inflaming warfare ... in Israel, in the Gulf with all the concessions and protection and funding for the Iranian terrorist regime...........and of course elsewhere too.
Makes for some good profits for a few weapons manufacturers, who then donate to....the commmie/Nazi/Dems who create or promote the warfare all around the world
Netanyahu is right.
I hope Biden is forced to choose between (1) supporting the fight against barbaric terrorists or (2) placating the “progressives” who want to weaken and eventually destroy Western civilization. Right now Biden is trying to have it both ways.
Go, Bibi!
AMEN~~~
“Let the Arabs take the Palestinians in.”
No Arab country wants them; they are considered bad news. And the Palis have no one to blame but themselves. It’s hard to find a more annoying group of misfits than the Palis.
“Netanyahu is not traveling the world begging for money.”
He doesn’t have to.
Indeed.
Israel was also non a path with Peace with the Saudi’s.
Germany and Austria started WWI. Each lost territory from the peace treaty. Germany and the USSR started WWII, but only Germany lost territory. Iraq invaded Quwait, and Iraq lost territory from the peace. Gaza attacked Israel, raped, pillaged, and kidnapped Israelis. Gaza should lose territory. Israel should declare parts of occupied Gaza a haven for Christians and others fleeing religious persecution in Muslim lands. If every time they attack Israel, they lost territory, they might decide that peace is a good option. Aggression against neighboring nations can’t be rewarded.
Agree. MUSLIMS HAVE ALWAYS HATED JEWS. MOHAMMED WAS A PUNK CARAVAN THIEF.
You forgot both Clintons.
By he, I mean Biden.
TRUE.
Gaza WAS a palestinian state.
Look what that got ‘em.
