A series of tweets from various sources including @washingtonpost, @WSJ, and @Jerusalem_Post, highlight a deepening rift between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, primarily centered around their differing stances on Gaza. Biden, in an interview with MSNBC, described Rafah as a 'red line,' indicating a significant point of contention. The disagreement, now termed the 'Biden-Netanyahu rift' and related to 'Gaza red lines,' has been described as a potential crisis and the 'worst crisis in the history of U.S.-Israel relations.' This discord, which has escalated concerns about a possible showdown between the two leaders, with implications for the future of U.S.-Israel relations and the ongoing conflict in Gaza, is now seen as being in a 'serious crisis.'
Crucial ties going back almost 50 years between Biden and Netanyahu are nearing an open rupture, spurred by clashing political agendas and conflicting war aims in Gaza: https://t.co/fQkHQSJrs5

This is the worst crisis in the history of U.S.-Israel relations. It creates a dilemma for Israel, mid-war: it can fight without ousting Netanyahu, and risk the loss of U.S. arms; or replace its government with one that will accept Biden's terms. It could lose the war either way. https://t.co/OZY1DdDf82

“In the decades-old history of the U.S.-Israel relationship, there has rarely been another moment when an American president was closer to Israel and more at odds with its prime minister.” https://t.co/ErauX6MZF8
Respectfully, I think this is an odd history of the US-Israel relationship. — Reagan & HW Bush put really tough pressure on Israel to advance US geopolitical goals — Netanyahu worked hand-in-glove with congressional Republicans to spike the JCPOA. https://t.co/tTRac8yhv0

From this AM’s @washingtonpost column from @IgnatiusPost: “Biden said in an interview with MSNBC this past weekend that Rafah was a ‘red line,’ but it wasn’t clear just what that meant.
