Biden vs. Netanyahu: "Promised things he didn't intend to keep, cared about himself and not Israel"

Former US President Joe Biden, in his new memoir "Promise Me, America," accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of making promises he never intended to keep, repeatedly ignoring US demands to reduce civilian harm in Gaza, and prioritizing his own political survival over Israel's interests. Biden also criticizes senior members of his own party who pressured him to drop out of the presidential race.

Former US President Joe Biden opens an account with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his new memoir, "Promise Me, America," accusing him of making promises he never intended to keep, repeatedly ignoring US administration demands to reduce civilian harm in Gaza, and prioritizing his own personal political interests over Israel's welfare. In excerpts from the book revealed by CNN, Biden describes a pattern in which Netanyahu promised to change his conduct, only for another military operation to occur in which civilians were killed. "Bibi had no problem making promises he had no ability, or intention, to keep," Biden writes. The article also cites additional books by senior Biden administration officials, including Brett McGurk and Phil Gordon, which reveal sharp confrontations with Netanyahu over the war in Gaza and the hostage issue. Additionally, Biden attacks senior members of his own party, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, for pressuring him to drop out of the presidential race, describing the sense of betrayal he felt.
