    The U.S. has significant leverage over Israel as its main supplier of weapons and military equipment.

    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.
