You know frenemies are becoming enemies when they are drawing each other red lines.
That is what United States President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also known as “Bibi,” are now doing. Just over five months after Oct. 7, when Hamas terrorized Israel and Biden promised his unequivocal support, the two leaders — if not yet their countries — are preparing to split.
The first to pull out the metaphorical red marker was Biden. For months, he has been distraught at what he called the "indiscriminate” Israeli bombing of Gaza in its retaliation against Hamas — a campaign that has killed more than 30,000, wounded over 70,000 and left nearly all of Gaza’s two million people homeless, hungry and traumatized.
