Netanyahu has seen his popularity plummet in opinion polls since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that sparked the devastating war in Gaza.
Anti-government protests that shook the country for much of 2023 have largely subsided during the war. Still, demonstrators again took to the streets of Tel Aviv Saturday night calling for new elections, which are not scheduled until 2026.
The crowd was much smaller than last years’ mass protests, numbering a few thousand, according to local media.
“I’d like to say to the government that you’ve had your time, you ruined everything that you can ruin. Now is the time for the people to correct all the things, all the bad things that you’ve done,” said one protestor, his head wrapped in an Israeli flag.
That doesn’t make Biden less responsible for things like UN vetos and congress bypassing. He still did it.
And? No president would do otherwise because it’s in the interest of the US. All you people complaining about single issues fail to grasp the bigger picture of how the US works. The US operates on interests. Those interests are held by corporations and the wealthy who control those corporations. Without the backing of the rich, you cannot become President. It simply will not happen.
