One of Netanyahu&#8217;s aids was among the three. This comes in the aftermath of Joe Biden&#8217;s putting a hold on 3,5000 bombs that were headed to Israel. Team Biden has issues with Israel&#8217;s plans for Rafah. Senior U.S. and Israeli officials have pointed to a distrust between Team Biden and Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Axios:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>During his long rant at the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu compared his clash with Biden over Rafah to Israel&#8217;s first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, declaring independence in 1948 over the objections of then-U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall, two sources with knowledge of the meeting said.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Netanyahu also noted his speech to Congress in March 2015, when he voiced his opposition to President Obama&#8217;s efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran.<\/li>\n<li>That speech led to a deep rift in U.S.-Israel relations and angered many Democrats.<\/li>\n<li>An aide to Netanyahu recounted the prime minister telling the cabinet that he knew how to push back against U.S. pressure and would do it again if necessary.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;When is comes to threats to our security we will do whatever it takes,&#8221; the aide recalled Netanyahu telling the cabinet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Between the lines: Netanyahu&#8217;s &#8220;vassal state&#8221; remark echoed comments by then-Prime Minister Menachem Begin in a 1982 meeting with Sam Lewis, the U.S. ambassador to Israel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ravid, B.
