JERUSALEM, Israel – During the seven months since the October 7th Hamas massacre and kidnappings, the Israeli perception of the Biden administration’s relationship with their nation and especially with their prime minister has, for many, been transformed from warm and welcoming to bewildering and hostile. That has been more evident since the early weeks of 2024 when the White House made it clear they would prefer to see Benjamin Netanyahu replaced as prime minister. Later they would even summon coalition member and National Unity Party leader Benny Gantz to Washington to conduct business with Israel without consultation from either party with Netanyahu.
