Netanyahu rejected Biden's statement on the Gaza issue

International Desk: US President Joe Biden commented that Israel's approach to the Gaza war is "harming the country more than it is helping it". Addressing Israel in an interview given to reporters on Saturday, he added, "More attention should be paid to the loss of innocent lives as a result of the actions taken." However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Biden's statement on the Gaza issue. In an interview given to Politico on Sunday, he called Biden's comments "wrong". In the interview, Netanyahu said, "If he (Biden) wants to imply that I am pursuing a personal policy against the majority, the will of the majority of Israelis and that it is hurting Israel's interests, then he is wrong on both counts."

Rather, Netanyahu said that his policies "are supported by the majority of the people of Israel." "The people of this country support the steps I am taking to destroy the remaining members of Hamas," he said. Netanyahu also said, "The majority of the people of Israel are as united as ever and they understand what is good for Israel."
