“He has the right to defend Israel, the right to continue attacking Hamas. But he must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives lost because of the actions taken.” Joe Biden estimated, Saturday March 9 in an interview with the MSNBC channel, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “did more harm than good to Israel” by his conduct of the war in Gaza.

Ambiguous remarks on the question of a “red line”

Joe Biden was asked during this interview about the existence of a “Red line” which he believes Israel should not cross in its offensive, the journalist asking him in particular if a massive Israeli offensive in Rafah, in the south of the Palestinian territory, would be one. “It’s a red line”replied the democrat, who immediately added: “I will never abandon Israel. Defending Israel remains of extreme importance. There is no red line where I want to completely stop arms deliveries.” and the Israelis would then no longer be “protected by the Iron Dome”. Joe Biden, however, immediately declared: “There are red lines… It’s not possible that 30,000 more Palestinians will die.”
