Axios: Biden "running out" of patience with Netanyahu as Gaza war hits 100 days
The Axios American news website said on Monday that the US President Joe Biden hung up the phone on occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their last call. The last time Biden and Netanyahu spoke was on December 23, and the aforementioned incident occurred.
Before Biden hung up, Netanyahu had rejected his request that Israel release the Palestinian tax revenues it's withholding, according to Axios.
President Biden and other senior U.S. officials are becoming increasingly frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rejection of most of the administration's recent requests related to the war in Gaza, four U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the issue told Axios.
'The situation sucks and we are stuck. The president's patience is running out,' one U.S. official told Axios.
Blinken was very blunt with Netanyahu and his War Cabinet, stressing that the Israeli government's plan for the day after the war is 'pie in the sky,' a U.S. official said.
