Jake Sullivan's Essay on Biden's Middle East Performance Scrubbed from Magazine

Sections of National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan's essay praising President Biden's performance in the Middle East were edited out of the online version of the article, while remaining in the print version. The print version contains outdated claims, including the assertion that the region is quieter than it has been for decades. The editor's note explains that a passage about the Middle East was updated to address Hamas's attack on Israel, which occurred after the print version went to press. Sullivan argues that despite the recent attack, Biden's disciplined approach to the region will not drastically change.
