Netanyahu has made a career out of trying to get the U.S. to fight the wars he wants fought in the Middle East. From Dave DeCamp at antiwar.com:
On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he told Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the brutal campaign in Gaza that has killed nearly 24,000 Palestinians is not only an Israeli war but also an American one.
“This is not just our war – it is also your war. This is the war of the sons of light against the sons of darkness,” Netanyahu said he told Blinken when he visited Israel last week, according to a statement released by his office. “This is a war against the axis of evil led by Iran and its three proxies: Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.”
From the perspective of the Palestinians and many Arabs across the region, the slaughter in Gaza is an American war as well as an Israeli one due to the unconditional military support and political cover the US has provided. The US has also intervened directly on Israel’s behalf to bomb the Houthis in Yemen over their attacks on Israel-linked shipping in the Red Sea.
The Biden administration has expressed “concerns” about some of Israel’s tactics in Gaza but is not considering cutting off Israel or even leveraging military aid. Some US officials fear that Biden’s unconditional support is emboldening Netanyahu and could lead to a major war in Lebanon.
