Hundreds gather in NYC to call for Hamas hostage Omer Neutra’s freedom
During his State of the Union address in March, President Biden announced an ambitious American initiative to get more aid into the Gaza Strip — aBiden explained that the Joint Logistics Over The Shore pier “would enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.”Barely a week into the operation, four US Army boats broke free from their moorings and floated off. One washed up on an Israel i beach.
Or does the episode serve as an apt metaphor for the Biden administration’s policies throughout the Israeli war on Hamas — overly ambitious, ineffective and out of touch with the realities on the ground? He has also argued repeatedly that “genuine security” for Israel depends on a pathway toward a Palestinian state.
Byman continued: “The perception of most US security figures is that Israel has tipped the balance — from hitting Hamas hard, to making marginal gains without much to show for it — in ways that are hurting Israel in their international opinion, and in particular, making it hard to have any longer-term solution.
Biden told MSNBC in March that the planned offensive would be a “red line.” In May, he said publicly that his administration would not support Israel or provide it with offensive weapons if it launched the operation. American threats against Israel undermined the one lever Israel had left to push Hamas toward a hostage deal — an aggressive operation in Rafah.
With his pressure on Israel, Biden has made it harder to end the war, and thus far less likely to achieve the other US goals in the region — avoid regional conflict, protect shipping routes and midwife Israel-Saudi peace.
“What we see fundamentally is that the trend is ever more consistently anti-Israel,” argued Danielle Pletka, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. Ahead of the Rafah operation, the Biden administration reduced and even withheld weapons shipments after pledging in October that “we are going to make sure you have what you need to protect your people, to defend your nation.”
Barely a month after the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust — and circulated weeks earlier — over 400 administration staffers signed an open letter calling on the president to demand a ceasefire.
