Biden's Israel Approach: Mistakes, Moral Failure, and Unprecedented Support

President Biden's strong support for Israel during its conflict with Hamas has given the U.S. leverage to restrain the worst instincts of the Netanyahu government. While the current Israeli government no longer shares close values with the U.S., Biden's unwavering support has made him popular in Israel and given him political clout. He has used this leverage to advocate for the release of hostages, provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, and urge Israeli restraint. Additionally, Biden's close relationship with Israel has allowed him to advocate for a two-state solution, which is now seen as the only possible path to lasting peace in the region. While there have been miscalculations, the ultimate judgment of Biden's approach will depend on the outcomes in the weeks ahead.
