Israeli prime minister hits back after US president says war is hurting Israel more than helping it

, has rejected Joe Biden’s comment that his approach to the war in Gaza was “hurting Israel more than helping Israel”, escalating a dispute between the leaders.

The war in Gaza began with Hamas’s unprecedented 7 October attack on southern Israel, which killed about 1,160 people, mostly civilians. Israel’s retaliatory military campaign has, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, killed at least 31,045 people in Gaza, mostly women and children.“How do I know that? Because our forces have killed at least 13,000 terrorist fighters,” he said, without elaborating on how that figure was derived.

Israeli authorities have consistently denied allegations that it has blocked delivery of aid. “Hamas has been stealing humanitarian aid and stockpiling equipment and food for Ramadan for terrorist leaders instead of the Gazan civilians in need,” the Israel Defense Forces spokesperson R Adm Daniel Hagari said on Saturday.

Speaking to Politico, Netanyahu predicted the fighting could take another four to eight weeks. It would not take than two months, he said: “Maybe six weeks, maybe four.”
