Netanyahu has disregarded US advice time and again in charting Israel’s response to the Oct 7, 2023 attack by Hamas that killed some 1,200 Israelis.
The US thinking is based on giving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an off-ramp that would allow him to resist calls from hard-liners in his coalition who call for far more severe retribution.
