WTH Is Going On With Biden and Israel? Dan Senor Explains

In the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, Joe Biden
stood by America’s closest Middle Eastern partner, providing
diplomatic cover and military aid. Recently, however, the Biden
administration has become increasingly critical of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli operations in Gaza. In
March, Biden refused to veto a United Nations Security Council
resolution calling for a ceasefire without conditioning it on the
release of Israeli hostages or acknowledging the atrocities of
October 7. Why the sudden shift in tone from the Biden
administration? Will the growing rift between Biden and Netanyahu
affect Israel’s war aims in Gaza? And how will Biden’s failure to
stand by Israel affect American partnerships in the region?
