This letter refers to the news report ‘Biden and Netanyahu discuss Israel’s response to Iran missile strike’ (October 10, 2024). The heading suggests a situation where two partners are discussing a matter on equal footing. However, since the partnership between the two is very unequal, this ‘discussion’ will mean Israeli PM Netanyahu giving orders and US President Biden just obeying them without question. President Biden’s subservience to Netanyahu - a conduit to the pro-Israel lobby’s ‘generosity’ - continues unabated. The only difference his decision not to stand for another term has made is that, instead of campaign funding, he will now need a hefty retirement package. He has already lodged his claim for this package by announcing: “No administration has helped Israel more than I have”.
