"Like many strong supporters of Israel, I am very concerned," Biden told reporters, according to AFP.
"They can't continue on this path, and I've kind of made that clear," he continues.
After months of mounting protests, Netanyahu backed down on Monday and paused the bills that, according to critics, threaten Israel's status as a democratic country. The break lasts until the next session of the House Knesset in about a month.
Biden says he hopes the contentious bill is scrapped and that Netanyahu hopefully reaches a compromise.
"But that remains to be seen," Biden says.
He adds that he has no plans to invite the Israeli leader to the White House.
