Analysts say the Israeli prime minister appears to be pitching himself to Republicans as he faces war with Hezbollah and dissent in the Israeli army.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to double down on his broadside against US President Joe Biden's administration on Thursday, saying he was willing to incur "personal attacks" in order to defend Israel's existance.
Netanyahu was referring to a video he released this week in English accusing the Biden administration of "withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel".
"Those comments were deeply disappointing and certainly vexing to us, given the amount of support that we have and will continue to provide," US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told journalists earlier on Thursday.
The Biden administration has vociferously backed Israel's offensive on Gaza. It also welcomed a an attack on Nuseirat refugee camp in which the Israeli army recovered four captives from Hamas but killed at least 270 Palestinians in the process, according to Palestinian health officials. But the US has been at odds with Netanyahu's government over a host of issues including a post-war plan for Gaza and civilian Palestinian casualties.
