In another slight to the Netanyahu government, Senator Majority Chuck Schumer has labeled PM Netanyahu an obstacle to peace and called for elections in Israel.

Biden Administration Turns on Israel at the UN

This week, the United States, under President Joe Biden, abstained from an anti-Israel UN Security Council Resolution, thus allowing it to pass. The resolution, calling on an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, failed to condemn Hamas and failed to include an Israeli hostage release as part of the ceasefire. The fact that Hamas celebrated the passage of the (non-binding) resolution, says it all. Josh Hasten discusses this story, and all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored.

U.S. Administration Trying to Overthrow Israeli Government?

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten shares that a senior Israeli official slammed a U.S. intelligence report claiming that the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu is in jeopardy. In other words, this self-fulfilling prophecy attempt is another sign that the Biden Administration wants Netanyhu and his right-wing government out of power. At the same time, it was reported that Biden and company are considering withholding U.S. military aid should Israel try to finish off Hamas in the southern Gaza town of Rafah. Israel has made clear that it must destroy the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah in order to achieve victory over the terrorist organization.
