Biden's Steadfast Support and Secret Weapon: Winning Fans at Home, in Israel, and Beyond
Joe Biden has won over right-wing Jews and gained support in Israel for his steadfast backing of Israel during the recent conflict with Hamas. Despite being a longtime critic of Biden, Fred Zeidman praised his impassioned speech and called it the most genuine he has ever heard from a sitting American president. Biden's support for Israel has caused his approval rating to rise in Israel, and he has been praised for his moral, tactical, diplomatic, and military support. Biden's actions, including speaking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, draping the White House in the Israeli flag, and addressing the nation, have put to rest concerns about his pro-Israel stance. His visit to Israel and his empathy towards the victims and heroes of the attack have filled a leadership gap in the country. Biden's support for Israel has also shifted the perception of him among his critics at home, with many praising his moral courage and unwavering support for Israel. However, some Republicans remain skeptical, and there are still concerns about Biden's stance on Iran.
