A national security expert criticized the administration's lack of strategic competence and pointed to inconsistencies in its approach to conflicts in the region, including the Israel-Gaza war and the Russia-Ukraine situation. Despite reaffirming support for Israel, President Biden also opposed a potential Israeli counterattack against Iran.
