President Biden was overheard telling US Senators that he informed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu about an upcoming serious meeting with the president.
Biden revealed, “I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting.”

The Biden administration attempted to persuade Netanyahu for months to stop his invasion of Gaza and to permit humanitarian aid. The change in administration policy toward increasing and providing direct humanitarian aid to the Palestinians is the next step in what could be a very challenging time for Netanyahu.
Prime Minister Netanyahu seems to be using the invasion of Gaza to hold on to power in Israel because he is facing corruption charges. If Netanyahu is ever out of power, his next stop will be back to criminal court as a defendant.
Patience has worn thin with Netanyahu, and the anticipation is that any come to Jesus meeting with Biden ends with the President telling Netanyahu to stop the war crimes in Gaza or US aid will be cut off.
