President Biden's visit will give the Israeli government a chance to demonstrate that it is restoring a sense of order and safety after the Hamas attack.
President Biden's visit to Israel Wednesday will offer the Israeli government an opportunity to prove that the country has restored enough security following the Hamas attack to ensure the personal safety of a sitting U.S. president in an active conflict zone.The dramatic visit by Biden is intended first and foremost to send the message that the United States stands by Israel as it prepares to launch a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to destroy Hamas's military capacity.
American presidents travel in a vast security bubble, and extra safety measures are taken on the rare occasions when a president sets foot in a country at war.White House advisers expressed confidence ahead of Biden's trip that the necessary security arrangement had been made.'We wouldn't make a trip obviously if we did not believe that proper security parameters would be in place,' a senior White House aide told reporters in a preview of the president's visit.
