Dealing with the Netanyahu-led government will pose major challenges for the Biden administration, which desires a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and broader acceptance of Israel in the Arab world. Republicans in the U.S. who are eager to cast themselves as true friends of Israel are sure to question any Biden administration criticism of the new government. Netanyahu and the GOP have grown closer over the past decade, undermining decades of bipartisan support for Israel. Netanyahu and President Joe Biden have both said that U.S. support for Israel should remain bipartisan. Republicans remain eager to criticize anything short of unquestioning support for Israel from the Biden administration.
