President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

      The alternative being political outsiders like Trump.

      Maybe the problem is the electoral system that rejects a 3rd party option.

        Well, that, and the fact that a while ago we renamed bribery to “lobbying”, so now it’s perfectly legal, just as long as you jump through the right hoops in the right way.
