President Joe Biden is facing criticism for framing a recent proposal as an Israeli roadmap, despite confirmations from the EU, UN, and French President Emmanuel Macron that it was actually a Biden plan. This has led to confusion and accusations of a messaging disaster from the White House. Critics argue that Biden's misrepresentation aimed to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu within his coalition and potentially trigger the collapse of the Israeli government. Former President Barack Obama also confirmed that the plan was indeed Biden's own proposal.
Why was it necessary for Biden to claim that this had been Israel’s proposal? Why didn’t he just present it as his own proposal, which Obama confirmed it was? Because Biden wanted to undermine Netanyahu within his own coalition, and trigger the collapse of the Israeli government. https://t.co/fudKNbaxF6
Why did the White House try to frame this as an Israeli proposal? The EU, UN, and Macron all said it was a Biden plan. Just a messaging disaster. https://t.co/tX8zTYYgN3
