Meanwhile, according to several senior U.S. administration officials, as the conflict progressed, many U.S. officials began to view Netanyahu, not Iran, as the primary authority in containing the broader regional fire.
An Israeli official confirmed that the phone call between Biden and Netanyahu last week after Haniyeh's death was "tense." At the same time, Biden is probably not yet ready to put significant pressure on Israel to try to curb its actions. No significant restrictions on military aid to the country are currently being considered.
