published a profile of Biden and a transcript of writer Massimo Calabresi’s interview with him. In the piece, which focused on Biden’s, the president first said he would not engage with a question about whether Netanyahu was prolonging the war as he struggles to lead an emergency unity government amid growing discontent from the broader electorate beyond his hard-line base of power.
“And I would cite that as — before the war began, the blowback he was getting from the Israeli military for wanting to change the court. And so it’s an internal domestic debate that seems to have no consequence.
