US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed that there are questions facing Netanyahu that he must confront immediately after the end of the war on the Gaza Strip, indicating that the latter was working to postpone those questions.

Sullivan declined to comment on the claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is interested in continuing the conflict in the Gaza Strip in order to remain in office.

“I will not speculate on the course of Israeli politics,” he said in a statement to CNN when asked whether the White House believes it is in Netanyahu’s interest to end the conflict when he is in a “difficult internal political situation.” He added: "He (Netanyahu) knows that once the war with Hamas ends, he will face questions that he has been putting off."

Sullivan added: “What we will do is just work with whoever is the prime minister, which is Netanyahu, and deal with him directly on the problems that we face today.”

It is noteworthy that Politico newspaper reported earlier, citing sources, that US President Joe Biden believes that Netanyahu’s political career is “near its end.”

According to the newspaper, the White House believes that Netanyahu's days as prime minister are numbered, and he will continue for several months or until the initial phase of the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip is completed.

Politico indicated that Biden discussed in a personal conversation with Netanyahu his future prospects as prime minister and invited him to think about the scenario he would present to his successor.

Also according to the newspaper, representatives of the American administration are negotiating with former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, one of the opposition leaders, former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, and the leader of the parliamentary opposition, Yair Lapid.
