Nobody was happy going into today's congressional hearing with former special counsel Robert Hur, and nobody came away with much of a reason to feel any differently.

💥 Democrats were livid that Hur, the special counsel investigating President Biden's handling of classified documents, included lengthy descriptions of Biden's memory lapses in a report that ultimately said the president shouldn't be prosecuted.

• Reality check: Polls consistently show that voters, including Democrats, do worry about Biden's age. He does fumble in his public comments sometimes.
• And a transcript of Biden's interviews with Hur and his team did show several mental lapses, largely validating Hur's accounts of those exchanges.

😡 Republicans were upset that Hur didn't bring charges against Biden. And as efforts to impeach Biden appear to fizzle, they were also hoping Hur would provide a new outlet for their anti-Biden energies.

• Reality check: Hur's testimony didn't give them new material to work with beyond what was in the transcript and his report. Nothing in today's proceedings seemed potent enough to rekindle the fire they had hoped to capture with impeachment.
• Biden still isn't on trial, and Trump still is, largely because of major substantive differences between the two cases.

The public clash between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu escalated further today, Axios' Barak Ravid reports.

📌 Driving the news: The U.S. released an unclassified intelligence assessment yesterday that included a paragraph on Netanyahu's domestic political situation.

• "Netanyahu's viability as leader as well as his governing coalition ... may be in jeopardy," the U.S. intelligence report said. It's unusual for the U.S. to publicly release that kind of assessment about an ally.

🇮🇱 A senior Israeli official hit back in a statement to reporters today, accusing the Biden administration of meddling in Israeli domestic politics.

• "We expect our friends to act to overthrow the terror regime of Hamas and not the elected government in Israel," the official said.

Why it matters: The strongly worded and emotional statement showed just how much resentment and distrust has been growing between the two leaders in recent weeks over the Gaza war.
