"How does this end?" Biden pressed Netanyahu during one of their calls. It doesn't, not really. The fighting may have stopped for now but the conflict persists, leaving another US president searching for options. ⁦@michaelcrowley⁩ ⁦@anniekarni⁩ https://t.co/scyYl4Lb7f — PolitiTweet.org

On a political precipice just a couple weeks ago, Netanyahu emerges from the Gaza war in a stronger position as he reinforces his appeal as the sole guarantor of Israeli security. @NYTimesCohen⁩ https://t.co/QmQpignyBR — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than resolve the underlying issues, Palestinians say the war has only inflamed their quest for greater rights and recognition. ⁦@RamiNazzal⁩ ⁦@VivianHYee⁩ https://t.co/MWgXD3kcxZ — PolitiTweet.org

Israelis share nagging sense of disappointment that nothing had been resolved by the fighting. Poll shows 72% thought air campaign should continue while 24% favored a ceasefire. ⁦@IKershner⁩ ⁦@adamrasgon⁩ https://t.co/LoctSeYYAL — PolitiTweet.org

Israel can quickly rebound from the latest war damage but the scale of destruction in Gaza will not allow a return to normalcy for some time. ⁦@PatrickKingsley⁩ ⁦@IyadAbuheweila⁩ https://t.co/8ZPRvK6sj0 — PolitiTweet.org

Israel's military says it took out scores of militants, 340 rocket launchers and 60 miles of tunnels, but Hamas and affiliates still have 8,000 rockets and hundreds of launchers, enough for two future wars. ⁦@PatrickKingsley⁩ ⁦@ronenbergman⁩ https://t.co/FjgpMv4Jcd — PolitiTweet.org

So often you put aside a long piece that you mean to read later and never get to. Fortunately, I actually did get back to this spectacular ⁦@vermontgmg⁩ oral history of the bin Laden raid. You should too. Definitely worth it. As riveting as a movie. https://t.co/KshO0OQggl — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans cool on Biden infrastructure counter-offer, though blame staff rather than him: "Based on today’s meeting, the groups seem further apart after two meetings with White House staff than they were after one meeting with President Biden," Capito office says in statement. — PolitiTweet.org

The Gaza clash came as Biden and Netanyahu struggle to define their relationship. Their first call after the election was “the most awkward call I’ve ever heard,” given the “elephant in the room” of Trump and the Republican Party, one person tells @sbg1 https://t.co/KUz0fNjgkK — PolitiTweet.org

So far, the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza is holding. But in 2014, the last time the two engaged in a major clash, nine truces came and went before it finally ended. @PatrickKingsley @katierogers @MarcSantoraNYT — PolitiTweet.org

North Korea has roughly doubled its stockpiles of nuclear weapons and fuel in the past four years despite the high-profile diplomatic dance with Trump. It's believed to have at least 45 weapons and is heading to an arsenal comparable to Pakistan's. — PolitiTweet.org

North Korea greeted Biden's ascension by switching on key parts of its Yongbyon nuclear plant, sending a signal that it's not backing down in its development of a deadly arsenal. ⁦@SangerNYT⁩ ⁦@WilliamJBroad⁩ ⁦@choesanghun⁩ https://t.co/0ZeJfDUn9b — PolitiTweet.org

Biden privately took a sharper tone with Netanyahu in their Monday phone call than the public White House statement indicated, warning that he could fend off criticism of the Gaza strikes for only so long. ⁦@michaelcrowley⁩ ⁦@anniekarni⁩ https://t.co/8J1FaJG77c — PolitiTweet.org
