"Business as usual center right Joe Stability Biden, representing rich old business people with a smile and a grandfatherly handshake" and
"My followers LITERALLY want Hand Maids Tale style Christian Fascism in this country and they have a plan to do it and that's fine with me as long as I get to win and avoid criminal prosecution, also I'm a wannabe Russian mobster! Donald Trump"

Except a majority in the US disapproves of Israels recent actions and they are risking their victory - which is likely gonna be a close one - for next to nothing. Even if they really don't give a fuck, they could have just postponed the decision.
Here's a fascinating piece of what appears to be censorship or extremely selective transcribing from transcripts of yesterday's press briefings. You won't find this in the transcript of C-SPAN, or the WhiteHouse.gov transcript.
