They sure don't seem to, considering they never even explicitly threaten to use that leverage. Even the call, based on a situation that supposedly left Biden anguished, was still an implicit threat. At least based on what's published.
If Biden wants to actually get any change done he should damn well know that getting rid of Bibi is the only way to do that. The best way to get rid of Bibi is to make the Knesset realize he's an existential threat to Israel because he's about to cause the US to cut off support.
The Knesset just voted themselves a nice six week vacation. They don't give a shit. If Bibi goes they'll find another main man. They have plenty of genocidal nutbars to pick from in their ranks.
Right? People who think a person like Bibi with his ideological bent just exist in a vacuum and it's delusionally macabre. Inertia fucking happens.
Bibi is a lynchpin that holds up a coalition of actual fascists. Those fascists have supporters(including in the IDF), but not a majority. Breaking the back of that coalition and facilitating the fall of Bibi's government would result in positive change for the entire situation.
The fact that Bibi will go to jail if he loses that coalition due to corruption charges is what makes Biden's softball moves so frustrating for me.
Bibi, like Trump, is a symptom of the pathogen. We will need to work harder than this to cut the head off such a snake. Jail for either is positive, yes. But it's more like Tylenol for a rattlesnake bite than an actual anti venom.
It wasn't Bibi doing a festival with sugar cotton and games to block the food aid, it was Israel citizens.

Yes, that is a strange quote. It should read "AIPAC has has significant control over who is elected to the U.S. government".
