Biden's remarks First, we need to look at exactly what Biden said. "Israel has still not decided on their Response against Iran for Tuesday’s Ballistic Missile Attack, and that discussions are ongoing, but that if I was 'In their Shoes' I would not launch an Attack on Iran’s Oil Fields." "
No US administration has done more for Israel than mine. None. I think Bibi should remember that. Does he want to influence the elections? I don’t know, but I am not counting on that" It's clear that Biden was surprised by the behavior of oil prices after yesterday's comments and is trying to correct it.
What is clear from these comments is that Israel is considering an attack on Iranian oil fields. It's been discussed as an option in conversations between Israel and the highest levels of the US, which is why Biden keeps bringing it up. Biden obviously doesn't want an attack on these Iranian oil facilities, but on the other hand, Israel is seriously considering such an attack, which is why Biden has publicly denied it.
It's clear that there are serious differences of opinion between Biden and Bibi, as evidenced by Biden pressing Bibi on his comments about the election. He attacked Bibi by referring to election meddling, which is a pretty high level given the diplomatic rhetoric.
But what does Bibi do if there is a difference of opinion between the US administration and Bibi - can the US simply control Bibi? Recall that Biden coined the phrase “'In their shoes”. He didn't say “Don't do it.”
He himself has expressed his lack of confidence in controlling Israel, so why do you think Bibi will blindly follow his lead? Don't forget that Israel's strategic goal is not only to draw Iran into a regional conflict, but also to force the US to get involved.
