In 2024 global leaders including Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Emmanuel Macron publicly questioned the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Their criticisms came after the Gaza War reached a stalemate in March 2024 as Israel was planning an invasion of the Gaza City of Rafah. Western leaders insisted that all civilians should be evacuated from the city prior to an invasion. Netanyahu responded by saying that Israel is "not a banana republic" and doesn't listen to the other countries when security is on the line. Western leaders fear that if the Rafah invasion happens without an evacuation a further massacre of Palestinian citizens will take place. Israel political observers note that Netanyahu is incentivized to prolong the war since he will likely be voted out of office at its conclusion.

The government should support democratically elected governments, not individual politicians.
@9LXDZSK 7mos7MO
Yes, but we should not attempt to influence foreign elections.
@B23CRQ32wks2W
No, we should arrest him and try him for war crimes, genocide and settler-colonialism. Israel has no right to exist and should be deleted off the world.
@9WCBGHP2mos2MO
Don’t support, don’t denounce. Don’t get involved.
@9W2QDRF2mos2MO
I think the government needs to support the Israeli population but must oppose Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership
@9VSD4ZR3mos3MO
The government should continue to support Israel's right to exist and defend itself. The government has no right to support or subvert another country's government's leadership.
@9VQ7P2P3mos3MO
no we should make him a wanted man in our country for the war crimes and crimes against humanity
@9V249ZQ3mos3MO
It is not our business to interfere in the democratic politics of an allied nation.
