Netanyahu prefers to wait for some dumb criminal that won’t ask as many questions. Hamas as well.

What questions did Biden ask when approving military sales to Israel unconditionally?

Wait for what? Netanyahu just started a war with Lebanon. Biden is sending more weapons ASAP.

Wait for a more malleable American president before committing to any cease fire he doesn’t need. The war sustains both Netanyahu and Hamas.
