(VINnews) — According to NBC News, the Biden administration has increased its already tough pressure campaign on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. In addition, there appears to be a growing wedge between the two countries on multiple fronts–and even more eye-popping, the Biden administration is reportedly making plans for a post-Bibi era.

The report quoted top officials who said the Biden administration is attempting to work with other Israeli leaders, laying groundwork for a potential government after Netanyahu’s eventual exit.

In an attempt to work around Netanyahu, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on his trip to Israel last week, met individually with members of the war Cabinet and other Israeli leaders, including opposition leader Yair Lapid.

Senior officials also told NBC News that Blinken deliberately began last week’s trip visiting the Arab nations first, rather than Israel, to deliver to Netanyahu a unified Arab post-war proposal.

According to NBC:

The Biden administration and Netanyahu’s divisions over Israel’s handling of its war with Hamas, as well as the Israeli leader’s refusal to consider U.S. proposals for a post-war Gaza, have only become more pronounced since Blinken’s visit to Israel, according to multiple senior administration officials.

The secretary of state returned to Washington [after last week’s Israel visit], the officials said, having been rebuffed by Netanyahu on all but one of the administration’s asks: an understanding that Israel would not attack Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The story added:

Blinken’s major achievement on the trip was getting a commitment from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and four other Arab leaders to help rebuild Gaza after the war…The Arab leaders also agreed to support a new, reformed Palestinian government to secure Gaza, the officials said. The Saudi crown prince offered to normalize relations with Israel as part of a Gaza reconstruction agreement — a diplomatic development Netanyahu has long sought — but only if the Israeli leader agrees to provide Palestinians with a pathway to statehood, the officials said.

Netanyahu rejected the offer, officials said, telling Blinken that he’s not prepared to make a deal that allows for a Palestinian state. And now three senior U.S. officials say the Biden administration is looking past Netanyahu to try to achieve its goals in the region.

Biden’s animosity to israel is nothing new. On June 22 1982, Joe Biden was a Senator from Delaware and confronted then Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin during his Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony, threatening to cut off aid to Israel. Begin forcefully responded, “Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.

Apparently, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

So America should make a two-in-one plan for post hamas and post Bibi together, and get a one government solution by some Jew-hating group.
