Netanyahu’s approach to war in Gaza a ‘mistake’: Biden
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approach to the war in Gaza is a “mistake,” US President Joe Biden says in a new interview, offering further criticism of Israel’s handling of the conflict.

“I think what he’s doing is a mistake. I don’t agree with his approach,” Biden said in comments to Univision, a US Spanish-language TV network.
Biden has also previously called Israel’s bombing in Gaza “indiscriminate” and its military actions “over the top.”
The White House said last week that the president, in a call with Netanyahu, threatened to make conditional US support for Israel’s offensive on it taking concrete steps to protect aid workers and civilians. That call followed an Israeli airstrike that killed seven staff including Australian Zomi Frankcom of the aid group World Central Kitchen.
“What I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country,” Biden said in Tuesday’s interview.
Israel’s military assault on Gaza has been the subject of mounting international criticism. Domestically, Biden has also faced months of protests from anti-war activists, Muslims and Arab Americans across the country, who have demanded a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and restrictions on US military assistance for Israel.

Oh yes Mr Biden…..lets talk about America the CIA and their other offshoots the Vietnam war and the Australians they used for their own ulterior motives.
Major Barry Petersen for one had been seconded by the CIA to train and command a guerrilla force of Montagnard fighters from the Vietnam Hill tribes.
