President Joe Biden's new announcement about Israel has raised concerns among people on both sides of the issue.
The longer the war between Israel and Hamas lasts, the more the support of Israel that Biden demonstrated immediately after Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attacks gets tested as he seeks to keep pro-Palestinian stakeholders on his side.
White House senior spokesman Andrew Bates dismissed Johnson’s speculation about Israel and U.S. military support, contending the Biden administration, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, had made similar statements days earlier. But Bates told theFor White House national security spokesman John Kirby, Biden’s decision to make the announcement was based on “seeing things, threats for a major operation in Rafah, and certainly rhetoric around that,” which gave him “pause.
Biden’s counterpart to Netanyahu’s Israel-Hamas war cabinet includes Austin, in addition to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Sullivan’s deputy Jon Finer, CIA Director Bill Burns, and National Security Council Middle East coordinator Brett McGurk. Arab and Muslim Americans in Michigan sat down with Finer earlier this year to discuss the conflict after they declined to meet with Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez about the same topic.
Goldberg, of FDD, also emphasized Israel’s military preparedness more broadly: “The question is what will happen if Iran escalates any one of its six other fronts against Israel, especially via Hezbollah, which is a threat 10 times larger than Hamas ever was.” Scheinmann, from the Alexander Hamilton Society, disagreed: “If he were truly concerned about winning Michigan, he wouldn’t be seeking to kill the combustion engine via his electric vehicle policies. Way more people are going to be put out of work or life made more expensive as a consequence of those policies than on Israel-Gaza stuff. I think that simply at the end of the day, this is where the administration is.
