Senior American officials: Netanyahu chose to create a crisis with the US for internal political reasons - Walla! News. "What Netanyahu did today is a strange way to treat an ally that has given Israel so much support since the beginning of the war," said an American official.
Another American senior official said that Netanyahu used the vote at the UN as an excuse and a way to escape from sending a delegation to talks at the White House on Rafah. "Bibi was afraid that we might, God forbid, offer good alternatives to a ground operation in Rafah," said the official.
