This week, Joe Biden travelled to Israel – becoming the first US
president to visit the country at war. He set out to show United
States support for Israel, ease the humanitarian disaster unfolding
in Gaza, win the freedom of hostages held by Hamas, and prevent a
wider regional conflict that might draw in the US. So with stakes
this high, how did he perform? And what does this mean for Biden
politically? This week Jonathan Freedland is joined by Julian
Borger, the Guardian’s world affairs editor, who is in Jerusalem
and has been following the trip and the reactions to it.
