While showing support, the president must also navigate substantial uncertainty.
For President Joe Biden, a hastily arranged yet meticulously planned visit to Israel on Wednesday,, is an opportunity to show support for America's closest ally in the Middle East. It's also a potential chance to influence Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he plans steps that could shake regional politics for years to come.
Some 10 days after Hamas' unfathomable assault on Israelis, the fate of upwards of 200 hostages held by the militants is in the balance. With Israel still holding back on an expected ground offensive into Gaza, the Palestinian territory Hamas controls,reportedly left hundreds dead in what could be only a taste of the humanitarian toll to come.
That view appears less widespread in Israel, which is one reason Netanyahu might be welcoming the U.S. president this week. Biden's initial response to the attacks drew a measure of bipartisan praise for his moral clarity. At the same time, 54% of Americans said they disapproved of Biden's initial handling of the conflict, with 62% disapproval of his handling of Iran. Those numbers are in line with subpar perceptions of the president across a range of domestic and foreign-policy issues covered in the poll.
