White House officials are worried about the decline of Biden's reputation in the country and abroad

US administration officials are worried that Biden's support for Israel will damage his reputation at home and abroad.

Officials of the US presidential administration are worried that the White House's tacit support for Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip could damage Joe Biden's reputation at home and abroad. This was reported by high-ranking sources of The Washington Post newspaper.

They say aid to Benjamin Netanyahu's government could come at a cost to US policy as the country's allies and partners grow increasingly frustrated with the White House's refusal to protect the Palestinians.

"The diplomatic contribution may be subtle," The Washington Post quoted one of the interviewees as saying.

That could leave Washington isolated "in the region and elsewhere," the sources said. They note that the Netanyahu government should understand that the US itself is suffering from its pro-Israel position, so the issue of the Palestinian situation should be put back on the agenda.

Recently, some officials in the White House, the State Department and several other government agencies have begun to openly challenge the US's tacit support for Israel's actions, saying that this trend could have more serious consequences for the American leadership.
