President Joe Biden has arrived in Tel Aviv as tensions between Israel and Hamas have reached perhaps their highest point since this month's war began.
Biden is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to affirm the United States's solidarity with its biggest Middle Eastern ally and to prevent the conflict from spreading further, a mission made more difficult by Tuesday's strike on a Gaza hospital that killed at least 500 people and for which both Israel and Hamas blamed the other.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken returned to Tel Aviv from Jordan ahead of Biden's visit. Biden was scheduled to meet with the leaders of Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and Egypt, but that meeting was canceled shortly after the hospital tragedy. While firm in his support for Israel's efforts to destroy Hamas, Biden has also made clear his desire to allow critical humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.The U.S. president has been criticized at home and abroad for his reaction to the Middle Eastern crisis, with some upset he has not shown enough solidarity with Israel and taken action against Iran, who they blame for Hamas's attack, and others angry that he has not taken sufficient steps to protect Palestinians.
All eyes are on the 46th U.S. president as he faces what could be a defining moment for his presidency, especially as he gears up for the 2024 election cycle with his critics up in arms about his priorities.
