An Israel expert claims the Biden administration asked them how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be toppled from power.
President Joe Biden has in recent weeks sharpened his rhetoric on the Israeli response to the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas.
His administration has grown increasingly unhappy with the mounting civilian death toll, now at more than 30,000, in Gaza from bombings and ground operations.
Biden has repeatedly criticized Israel's heavy-handed approach, calling it 'over the top' and urging a ceasefire to help starving civilians.
Then after the State of the Union, he was caught on a hot mic telling Democratic colleagues he planned to have a 'come to Jesus' meeting with Netanyahu.
Biden has known Netanyahu for 50 years and is a staunch ally of Israel, but the insider implied he could be at least discussing to option of removing him.
'I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse,' the Israel expert told New York Magazine.
'They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.'
Unlike the American political system, where the Republican and Democratic Parties dominate, Israel has numerous small parties that must team up to govern.

Notice they used the propaganda numbers from Hamas as the number of dead.
