White House says prospects of Netanyahu remaining in office not under discussion

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

The White House denies a Politico report according to which US President Joe Biden and his aides believe Benjamin Netanyahu’s days as Israel’s prime minister are numbered — and the American leader has told him as much.

“This description is false. This topic has not been discussed by the president and is not being discussed. Our focus is on the immediate crisis,” National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson says.
