President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

      Those ties include things like Palestinians’ access to fresh water and electricity. Saying they’re going to cut off ties is a coy way of threatening genocide.
