Relations between America and Israel are increasing sourly. Actually, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled his US tour. White House national security communications adviser John Kirby expressed surprise. He said that the Israeli Prime Minister's office is indicating that America has changed, while it has not.
Israel angry over passing of immediate ceasefire resolution
Notably, the UN Security Council passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between Gaza and Israel. The resolution also calls for the release of all hostages taken by Hamas in a surprise attack on Israel on October 7. America stayed away from voting on this proposal. Israel has expressed displeasure over this attitude of America. Netanyahu announced on Monday the cancellation of his planned US visit. After this, speculations have started that relations between the two countries have turned sour.
This does not represent any change in our policy
When Kirby was asked what President Joe Biden's reaction was to canceling Netanyahu's visit, he said, 'We are surprised by this. Some points in the proposal need to be made and reiterated. First of all, this resolution is a non-binding resolution. Therefore, it has no impact on the ongoing war with Israel or Hamas. The second thing is that as I said at the beginning, this does not represent a change in our policy.
We have to decide what our policy will be
He further said, 'We have already said what we want to do here and we stand by it. We have to decide what our policy is. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office has indicated that some change has taken place, whereas it has not. However, we have to decide what our policy is. By doing this, Netanyahu shows that he is making an assumption, when there is no need to do so. Our policies have not changed.
