Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted comments Tuesday that appeared to be responding to criticism of his government by President Joe Biden.

“Since the start of the war, I have been leading a diplomatic campaign to block pressure designed to end the war prematurely, and to secure strong support for Israel,” the Prime Minister tweeted. “We have had considerable success. Today, a Harvard CAPS -Harris poll was published, which shows that 82% of the American public supports Israel, meaning that four out of five US citizens supports Israel and not Hamas. This will help us continue the campaign until total victory,” he added. (RELATED: Netanyahu Pushes Back On Margaret Brennan’s ‘Grenades,’ Claims Israeli People Are ‘United’ Behind His Plan)

Netanyahu was referencing a Feb. 2024 Harvard CAPS-Harris poll that showed 82 percent of the American public supported Israel over Hamas, and 68 percent of the public thought Israel was trying to avoid civilian casualties in its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The poll was conducted from Feb. 21 to Feb. 22 and surveyed 2,022 registered voters.

Netanyahu’s comments appear to be in response to Biden’s remarks Monday, where the president suggested Israel was going to find itself lacking support from other nations on account of its government. “Israel has had the overwhelming support of the vast majority of nations,” Biden said. “If it keeps this up with this incredibly conservative government they have … they’re going to lose support from around the world,” CNN reported.

“In the meantime, there are too many innocent people that are being killed” Biden said, while acknowledging Israel has been slowing down attacks.

Biden has reportedly referred to Netanyahu several times during the course of the Israel-Hamas War as an “asshole.” Biden also said the prime minister had been “a pain in my ass” and “killing me lately,” three people familiar with his comments told NBC News.

Biden hung up on Netanyahu during a heated phone call in December over Israeli concerns that the release of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority would end up in Hamas’ hands, Axios reported. In that same month, Biden reportedly characterized certain Israeli operations in Gaza as “indiscriminate bombing” to donors and warned that Netanyahu ought to replace his own government to regain world support.

Biden’s stance toward Israel has Muslim communities in America displeased with him, and his support among that demographic has dropped since the onset of the war.

Several Muslim leaders appeared in Dearborn, Michigan, a swing state, back in December to voice their ire with the president and come up with plans to stifle his re-election campaign.

“We’re looking into finding ways to build a mechanism of coordination between all the swing states so that we’re constantly working together to ensure that Muslim Americans will come out in all of these states, and that Mr. Biden will lose each and every one of them,” Hassan Abdel Salam, a professor at the University of Minnesota, said during the Dearborn rally.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
