Biden’s controversial support Israel in Gaza

Critics argued that the Biden administration did not take a strong enough stance against Israeli actions in Gaza, particularly the Israeli military’s airstrikes and operations that resulted in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure in Gaza.

They contended that the U.S. should have done more to pressure Israel to seek a diplomatic resolution and cease military operations.

It’s important to note that U.S. policy on Israel and the Palestinian territories has been a contentious and complex issue for many years, and different administrations have taken varying approaches.

The Biden administration’s approach to this conflict was consistent with long-standing U.S. policy, which traditionally supports Israel as a strategic ally but also advocates for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Here is a summary of what I found from the web:

• Biden has expressed his unconditional support for Israel’s right to defend itself against the Hamas attack that killed more than 1,400 Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023¹²³⁴⁵.
• Biden has also condemned the Hamas attacks and called for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, but has not publicly pressured Israel to stop its bombing campaign on Gaza, which has killed more than 4,200 Palestinians and displaced more than 1 million¹²³⁴⁵.
• Biden has faced criticism from human rights groups, legal experts, some members of Congress, and many people around the world for his stance on the war, which they argue is enabling Israel’s violations of international law and possible genocide of the Palestinian people²³.
• Biden has defended his position by saying that he is working behind the scenes to de-escalate the situation and facilitate humanitarian aid to Gaza. He has also said that he supports a two-state solution and the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security¹⁴⁵.
• Biden has secured a deal with Egypt to deliver limited aid to Gaza to ease the humanitarian crisis. He has also visited Tel Aviv and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the war and reaffirm the US-Israel alliance¹⁴.
