Biden believes Netanyahu has only a few months left in office: US officials

US President Joe Biden believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has only a few months left in office, current and former US officials told Politico.

According to the report, Biden told Netanyahu personally that he should think about "lessons" that he could share with his successor.

The current serving senior official told Politico that the question of Netanyahu's vulnerability as a leader was always “in the background” and that they believed the prime minister's tenure - the longest in Israeli history - would likely end once the current round of fighting in Gaza finished.

“There’s going to have to be a reckoning within Israeli society about what happened,” said the official.

“Ultimately, the buck stops on the prime minister’s desk.”
