‘Friends’: White House downplays Biden-Netanyahu public spat

Al Jazeera  

White House spokesman says ‘there’s a lot to like’ about Israeli PM statement rejecting US president’s criticism. Washington, DC – The White House has played down the apparent tensions between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, portraying this week’s public spat as a friendly disagreement. Despite Netanyahu’s rejection of Biden’s criticism, the White House’s Kirby said on Wednesday that “there’s a lot to like” about the Israeli prime minister’s statement about the judicial reforms, including Netanyahu’s assertion that he would seek consensus. “We continue to support Israel’s security, and our commitment to Israel’s security and democracy continues to remain ironclad,” US Department of State spokesperson Vedant Patel said earlier this week. “And we work with our Israeli partners on a number of issues, including Prime Minister Netanyahu.” Asked whether Washington remains confident in Netanyahu’s leadership capabilities, Patel said: “I have no different assessment to offer.”
