Eighteen out of 19 people who work for Netanyahu are 'liars', Biden reportedly said

The Washington Post has revealed more details about the growing rift between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing quotes from veteran journalist Bob Woodward's latest book.

According to the report, Biden said, eighteen "out of 19 people who work for Netanyahu are liars". Woodward also notes that tensions exist between other senior US officials and Netanyahu, highlighting that “it was obvious Blinken had no influence” over Israel's actions in Gaza.

The book further illustrates Israeli officials’ growing frustration with Vice President Kamala Harris, especially since she secured the Democratic presidential nomination.

Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Herzog is quoted as saying, "Until now, I didn't feel that Vice President Harris had any impact on our issues. She was in the room, but she never had an impact."

Netanyahu was reportedly "infuriated" by the difference between Harris' cordial behaviour behind the scenes and her public criticism of Israel’s failure to reduce civilian casualties after their July meeting.
