Joe Biden has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of making empty promises to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza during the military campaign following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. In his upcoming memoir, Biden claims that he repeatedly urged Netanyahu to take greater precautions to protect Palestinian civilians, but these assurances often did not translate into changes on the ground.

Biden also questioned Netanyahu's political judgment, accusing him of prioritizing short-term political interests over long-term security for Israel. The criticism of Netanyahu's handling of the military campaign and his political decisions is detailed in Biden's memoir, Promise Me, America.
