None. None, none. And I think Bibi should remember that,\u201d Biden said, using Netanyahu\u2019s nickname. He added: \u201cAnd whether he\u2019s trying to influence the election, I don\u2019t know \u2013 but I\u2019m not counting on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The US president made a surprise and rare appearance in the west wing briefing room and answered reporters\u2019 questions there for the first time in his presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">He was responding to comments made by one of his allies, Chris Murphy, a Democratic US senator of Connecticut, who said on CNN this week that he was concerned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/benjamin-netanyahu\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Netanyahu<\/a> had little interest in a peace deal in part because of American politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The two leaders have long managed a complicated relationship, but they are running out of space to maneuver as their views on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/israel-hamas-war\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Israel-Gaza war<\/a> diverge and their political futures hang in the balance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"07d85cbc-314e-4de5-94d6-d9678039dc36\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:5,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;The Guardian view on US leadership: war in the Middle East accelerates American decline | Editorial&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;07d85cbc-314e-4de5-94d6-d9678039dc36&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2024\/oct\/02\/the-guardian-view-on-us-leadership-war-in-the-middle-east-accelerates-american-decline&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0,&quot;design&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Biden has pushed for months for a ceasefire agreement in Gaza \u2013 and the president and his aides boosted the idea repeatedly that they were close to success \u2013 but a ceasefire has not materialized. Antony Blinken, the secretary of state, has engaged in shuttle diplomacy to Israel and to peace talks via intermediaries, but to no avail and, in some cases, Netanyahu has publicly resisted the prospect while US and Israeli officials continue to talk in private about eking out a deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Meanwhile, Israel has recently pressed forward on two fronts, pursuing a ground incursion into Lebanon against Hezbollah and conducting strikes in Gaza. And it has vowed to retaliate for Iran\u2019s ballistic missile attack this week, as the region braced for further escalation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Biden said there had been no decision yet on what type of response there would be toward Iran, though there has been talk about Israel striking Iran\u2019s oilfields: \u201cI think if I were in their shoes, I\u2019d be thinking about other alternatives than striking oilfields.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Biden pushed back against the idea that he was seeking a meeting with Netanyahu to discuss the response to Iran. He wasn\u2019t, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI\u2019m assuming when they make a decision on how they\u2019re going to respond, we will then have a discussion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Netanyahu has grown increasingly resistant to Biden\u2019s efforts. Biden has in turn publicly held up delivery of heavy bombs to Israel and increasingly voiced concerns over an all-out war in the Middle East and yet has never acquiesced to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/apr\/05\/biden-israel-gaza-aid\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">political calls<\/a> at home <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/article\/2024\/sep\/06\/campaigners-press-us-ban-israel-arms-sales-uk-partial-halt\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">or internationally<\/a> for a halt on US arms sales to Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI don\u2019t believe there\u2019s going to be an all-out war,\u201d Biden said on Thursday evening. \u201cI think we can avoid it. But there\u2019s a lot to do yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Biden has remained consistent in his support for Israel in the aftermath of the 7 October Hamas attacks in Israel. Since then, with few exceptions, Biden has supported ongoing and enhanced US arms transfers to Israel while merely cautioning the Israelis to be careful to avoid civilian casualties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Biden has also ordered the US military to step up its profile in the region to protect Israel from attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and Iran itself. In April, and again earlier this week, the US was a leading player in shooting down missiles fired by Iran into Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On Thursday, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/oct\/03\/biden-says-us-discussing-possible-israeli-plans-to-attack-irans-oil-industry\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">said the US was \u201cdiscussing\u201d<\/a> with Israel the possibility of Israeli strikes on Iran\u2019s oil infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">His off-the-cuff remark, which immediately sent oil prices soaring, did not make clear whether his administration was holding internal discussions or talking directly to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/israel\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Israel<\/a>, nor did he clarify what his attitude was to such an attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Asked to clarify those comments, Biden told reporters on Friday: \u201cLook, the Israelis have not concluded what they\u2019re going to do in terms of a strike. That\u2019s under discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Kamala Harris also has not taken a different stance on arms sales but has spoken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/article\/2024\/jul\/26\/kamala-harris-benjamin-netanyahu-us-visit-palestine-israel-gaza-war\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">more assertively<\/a> for months to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and has decried civilian killings in Israel\u2019s war in the Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\"><em>The Associated Press contributed reporting<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/04\/biden-netanyahu-peace-deal-election-influence\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden had terse words at the White House on Friday for Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he didn\u2019t know whether the Israeli prime minister was holding up a peace deal in &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=110711\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=110711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110711\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=110711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=110711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=110711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
