[cont'd] Opinion: Netanyahu is dealing with the U.S. like a spoiled teenager dealing with his parents (Nakhum Barnea, also spelled Nahum Barnea)

PM is pouring out on the U.S. the troubles he has at home. The administration in Washington is a true friend, but it is not [our] parents. In the end, even they will get fed up.

[...] "What was Netanyahu thinking? That if he takes his two officials off the plane at Ben Gurion Airport, America will be scared and will now veto any anti-Israeli proposal at the UN?"

His subtooting of #Netanyahu hints at a #Gantz govt improvement in #US-Israel relations (vs #Putinyahu rule).

"important to remember…direct dialogue with the U.S. administration is a vital asset that must not be given up...the Prime Minister would do well to go to the U.S. himself, & hold a direct dialogue with President Biden & senior administration officials. This is true routinely [&]certainly true now, when the weight of U.S. support for Israel is so critical"

[cont’d] #Putinyahu: "The U.S. did not veto the new text today calling for an unconditional ceasefire without the release of the captives. This is a clear retreat from the consistent position of the #UNSC since the beginning of the war. This retreat harms both the war effort and the effort to release the captives, because it gives #Hamas hope that international pressure will allow them to get a ceasefire without releasing our captives."
