Now Biden Must Show Netanyahu That Enough Is Enough

Whenever the world calms down to think clearly, it must apportion blame for
the immense misery of the past six months. Hamas deserves the most, but
Bibi and his right-wing coalition partners are due their share, as are
other parties in the Middle East. By contrast, Biden, I believe, genuinely
tried to empathize with all sides and to find a balance between justified
Israeli self-defense and humanitarian restraint. But in that attempt he has
failed, as Netanyahu repeatedly and brazenly snubbed and ignored him.

UN resolutions and tense phone calls to Bibi are no longer enough. One of
Biden’s predecessors, Bill Clinton, allegedly emerged from a meeting with
Netanyahu in 1996, venting in frustration: “Who’s the f***ing superpower
here?” If Netanyahu now ignores Biden and the Security Council and fails to
cease fire, the US must vote to condemn Israel at the UN and immediately
halt all shipments of arms.
