A US official close to the White House criticized the remarks of opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu, who slammed the Bennett-Lapid government on Wednesday, saying that it is caving in to US pressure and sitting back while Iran continues its race to obtain nuclear power.
The US official, cited by Yisrael Hayom on Thursday, said that Netanyahu’s words are insulting to the Biden administration and the Democratic party due to the insinuation that they are abandoning Israel.
“President Biden is leading a clear position within the Democratic party of commitment to Israel and its security,” the official said. “Biden’s approach bolsters the bi-partisan support that Israel needs.”
“Netanyahu’s comments, however, create the impression that the current administration doesn’t care about Israel, which consequently weakens the Democratic party’s commitment to Israel.”
Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s “commitment to Israeli security” is contradicted by its courtship of the ” Palestinian cause,” while ignoring its ties to terror, and its absolute determination to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal, even as the Islamic Republic sows terror and plots against US, Israeli and international interests.

This is a good indication that Netanyahu spoke absolute wisdom & integrity, and time for Netanyahu to topple Bennett and return to power.
Dito about President Donald Trump.
the biden government and presidency are illegitimate – who cares what they say.
Mr. Needs, whether we like it or not, and whether he won the election or not, the current president was confirmed by the US Congress and legally sworn in. He is a constitutionally legit president, whether you give the ok or not.
To 147: Democratic party is a major US party. No smart ally would kibbitz in US politics on the side of either party, as each major US political party from time to time controls the US government. Democrats owe Netanyahu nothing, with the possible exception of retribution. Netanyahu has overplayed his hand and no longer good for the Jews.
To “needs to be said”: You need to … be quiet.
