The Spin

Israel must be able to defend itself from terrorist attacks from Gaza or elsewhere, and the US is committed to preventing malicious actors from threatening Israel's legitimate concerns. However, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has gotten out of hand, and the Biden admin. will not support any further offensive action in Rafah. Netanyahu must keep his promises and work with US allies to find a resolution to this conflict.

The New York Times

The aftermath of Oct. 7 has presented a challenge to the US and Israel, but the rhetoric being deployed against Netanyahu is unreasonable. Any change in leadership during these uncertain times would essentially paralyze the war effort and weaken Israel to a point where it could very well lose this existential struggle with terror. The only winner resulting from the left's attack on Netanyahu is Hamas.

Israel Hayom

The West likes to portray men like Benny Gantz as "moderate" compared to Netanyahu and his "extremist" allies like Ben-Gvir. However, this hides the fact that, when it comes to the war or Palestinians more broadly, most Israeli politicians are indistinguishable. Indeed, the Israeli population overwhelmingly supports Israel's cruel policies toward Palestinians.
