\n Rifts between the United States and Israel spilled into public view Tuesday as President Joe Biden warned that Israel was losing international support for its campaign against Hamas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected American plans for post-war Gaza.\n <\/p>\n

\n The divides, which until now had mostly been contained behind the scenes, reflected growing differences between the two staunch allies as the civilian death toll in Gaza mounts.\n <\/p>\n

\n Speaking to Democratic donors in Washington, Biden voiced criticism of Israel\u2019s hardline government and said Netanyahu needed to alter his app<\/a>roach.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think he has to change, and with this government, this government in Israel is making it very difficult for him to move,\u201d Biden said, calling Netanyahu\u2019s government the \u201cmost conservative government in Israel\u2019s history.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n He warned support for the country\u2019s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza and added that the Israeli government \u201cdoesn\u2019t want a two-state solution.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden said right now Israel \u201chas most of the world supporting it,\u201d but said \u201cthey\u2019re starting to lose that support by the indiscriminate bombing that takes place.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Speaking ahead of Biden\u2019s comments at the fundraiser, Netanyahu admitted Tuesday that he and the US president disagree on what should happen to Gaza after the war. In a statement, the Israeli leader said: \u201cYes, there is disagreement about \u2018the day after Hamas\u2019 and I hope that we will reach agreement here as well.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The pair of remarks amounted to some of the most candid to date when it comes to the persistent differences between Israel and the United States, its top international ally.\n <\/p>\n

\n Before the war broke out following Hamas\u2019 terror attacks on October 7, Biden had been open in his criticism of Netanyahu\u2019s governing coalition, which includes far-right parties. But he has\u00a0mostly stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Netanyahu in public\u00a0since the conflict began, despite mounting criticism of the Israeli campaign.\n <\/p>\n

\n Netanyahu has been asked repeatedly for his vision for a post-war Gaza in interviews with international media<\/a> since October 7, telling CNN\u2019s Dana Bash in an interview last month that he did see a role for \u201csome kind of civilian Palestinian authority,\u201d albeit one that had been \u201creconstructed.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n But in his statement Tuesday before Biden\u2019s remarks at the Democratic fundraiser, Netanyahu said: \u201cI would like to clarify my position: I will not allow Israel to repeat the mistake of Oslo.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden\u2019s comments Tuesday \u2013 in particular, that the current Israeli government \u201cdoes not want a two-state solution\u201d \u2014 suggest major differences with his Israeli counterpart.\n <\/p>\n

\n That idea \u2013 of a Palestinian state existing alongside the state of Israel \u2013 took off in the 1990s, with a series<\/a> of agreements known as the Oslo Accords, which created, among other things, the Palestinian Authority (PA), which assumed partial control over the West Bank and Gaza.\n <\/p>\n

\n The PA was effectively driven out of Gaza by Hamas in 2007 but the Biden administration has made increasingly clear it believes the PA should resume governance of the enclave when the war is over.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAfter the great sacrifice of our civilians and our soldiers, I will not allow the entry into Gaza of those who educate for terrorism, support terrorism and finance terrorism,\u201d Netanyahu said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cGaza will be neither Hamastan nor Fatahstan,\u201d Netanyahu\u2019s statement concluded, a reference not just to Hamas but also to Fatah, the largest Palestinian faction, which was instrumental in the signing of the Oslo Accords, and continues to control the Palestinian Authority three decades later.\n <\/p>\n

\n Israel began its assault on Gaza shortly after Hamas\u2019 terror attacks, which left more than 1,200 people dead. Biden has said Israel has a right and a responsibility to defend itself.\n <\/p>\n

\n In phone calls, however, Biden has encouraged Netanyahu to do more to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza, and top administration officials have said there is a \u201cgap\u201d between Israel\u2019s intentions and the realities on the ground.\n <\/p>\n

\n Speaking Monday evening at a White House Hanukkah reception, Biden acknowledged Israel was in \u201ca tough spot\u201d following the Hamas attack on October 7 and the subsequent war in Gaza. And he alluded to differences with Netanyahu amid the current fighting.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to provide military assistance to Israel until they get rid of Hamas, but we have to be careful \u2013 they have to be careful,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThe whole world\u2019s public opinion can shift overnight, we can\u2019t let that happen.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden and Netanyahu have a decades-long relationship that has at times been strained. At the Monday evening reception, Biden said he once gifted Netanyahu a photo and wrote at the top: \u201cI love you but I don\u2019t agree with a damn thing you had to say.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s about the same today,\u201d Biden said, adding he\u2019d \u201chad my differences with some Israeli leadership.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden administration officials have been pressing their Israeli counterparts in recent weeks to begin planning for what happens in Gaza once the military campaign ends, including insisting on keeping the door open for an eventual Palestinian state.\n <\/p>\n

\n The US says it would reject any proposal that includes Israeli control over Gaza and has warned against shrinking the Palestinian territory\u2019s boundaries.\n <\/p>\n

\n The US is also pressuring Israel to open the Kerem Shalom border crossing to allow humanitarian aid trucks to go directly into Gaza on an emergency basis, US officials told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Israeli government on Tuesday allowed aid trucks to be inspected at Kerem Shalom for the first time since Hamas\u2019s attack on October 7, but those trucks must still drive back through Egypt before entering Gaza through the Rafah crossing. While the move doubles Israel\u2019s capacity to inspect aid trucks, it does not resolve the bottleneck that is emerging at the Rafah crossing.\n <\/p>\n

\n Biden raised the issue directly with Netanyahu during their last call last week, the US officials said. National security adviser Jake Sullivan also urged his Israeli counterparts to open up the Israel-Gaza crossing before he arrives in Israel for meetings on Thursday, the officials said.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cRafah cannot absorb a sufficient amount of aid to meet the needs of the Palestinian people which are only growing as there have been more people displaced,\u201d Sullivan told CNN in a phone interview Tuesday.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe need the capacity that Kerem Shalom provides \u2013 on an emergency basis \u2013 to get more food, water, medicine and essentials in to be distributed to Palestinian civilians and we\u2019re putting that quite urgently to the Israeli government to say, \u2018We are asking you to do this ASAP because of the nature of the humanitarian situation on the ground,\u2019\u201d he added.\n <\/p>\n

\n A spokeswoman for the Israeli prime minister\u2019s office declined to comment on the US move. Israel has so far resisted the idea. It cut off all commercial and humanitarian aid traffic from Israel into Gaza since Hamas launched its surprise terrorist attack on October 7\u00a0and has vowed to sever all ties with Gaza.\n <\/p>\n

\n CLARIFICATION:\u00a0This story has been updated to include Biden\u2019s full remarks regarding Netanyahu and the Israeli government.<\/em>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
