The Biden administration has no plans to change its policy toward Israel after the ally’s forces killed seven humanitarian aid workers.
It’s the latest example of the United States criticizing Israel’s conduct of the war against Hamas while remaining reluctant to use its leverage to force a change. Biden has stood with Israel as it aims for the military defeat of Hamas, resisting calls from progressives and pro-Palestinian voices to condition military aid or impose other restrictions. Such moves would break, rather than bend, the relationship with Israel, the administration argues. And they would end any sway the U.S. has with Israel over protecting civilians.
That has caused fissures within the Biden administration. “It’s just rinse and repeat with the Israelis. The American political system can’t or won’t draw a real line with them and that is regrettable,” said a senior U.S. official.
I don’t outright disagree with anything you said but the saving grace could be the campaign money. Trump is counting on his personality cult to carry him through the media circus of publicity while his finances go to court fees. Money can win elections and so far Bidens winning the money race. I wouldn’t know how to quantify that money advantage though, so who knows if its enough.
