Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 Israelis in a terrorist attack, the likes of which the country had never seen. Since then, Israel has been determined to eradicate Hamas from Gaza, while fending back attacks from Iran and its proxies. The aftermath of the attack has strained relations between the U.S. and Israel, while the Democratic Party at home threatens to be torn apart by anti-Israeli activists, both within Congress and playing out on campuses across the country.
“I think the big threat for Israel and for U.S. priorities in the region is the role that Iran has played in fomenting and then supporting this conflict,” Brian Carter of the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute told the“When I say this conflict, I’m not just talking about Gaza or southern Lebanon, but in fact, the regional war that has been ongoing since October 7.
Biden signed onto a statement with a handful of other world leaders calling on Israel and Hezbollah to agree to aso both sides could negotiate a diplomatic resolution without the potential for escalation. Days after the statement came out, Israel assassinated Nasrallah, a major escalation. Israel has killed several Hamas senior leaders and destroyed many of their ranks over the course of their operations in Gaza, though it’s unclear if they’ve actually accomplished the goals they set out to achieve.
The U.S., Qatari, and Egyptian governments have sought to broker a ceasefire agreement but have failed to get one over the finish line for several months. Hamas still holds about a hundred hostages, an unknown number of whom are still alive. Israeli forces have conducted a handful of rescue operations with varying success, while Hamas has not willingly released any hostage since the brief weeklong ceasefire deal in late November.
The displeasure from his own party about his stance on the war hung over the 2024 Democratic primary, in which hundreds of thousands of Americans voted “uncommitted” instead of for Biden. The number of votes that the “Uncommitted Movement” received threatened to cost him the election. That is, until he dropped out of the race.
Biden said he did not know if Netanyahu was waiting to agree to a ceasefire deal to hurt the Democrats’ election changes in November when he was asked last week.was more vocal in calling out the plight of Palestinian civilians, even though she has not distinguished how a Harris administration would be different from Biden’s policies. The “Uncommitted Movement” declined to endorse Harris or Trump.
