America has changed its tone but not its policy towards Israel yet: Marwan Bishara

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara says there are “clear differences” between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“There is definitely increasing heat between the prime minister and the president,” he said. “But I think Biden is underlining a change of tone, not a change of policy. And that explains a bit why he sounds as if he’s speaking from both sides of his mouth. On one hand, he talks about red lines, and on the other hand, he talks about continuing basically unconditional support.”

According to Bishara, the Biden administration made the “mistake” of making US support for Israel unconditional.

“But for more than five months now, Israel has gotten the support, the arms, and the money – but it has rejected the advice of the American president, and that’s why he’s getting a bit frustrated with the Israeli prime minister because he does not want to see – as he said – another 30,000 dead people in Gaza,” he added.
