President Joe Biden completed a successful short visit to Israel on Wednesday. Biden declared that Israeli"bravery is stunning. I’m proud to be here." He claimed that the U.S. would ensure Israel had"what you need to defend yourselves." And the president emphasized a U.S. assessment that Israel was not responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.
The political risks entailed by Biden's visit were significant. Had Israel been responsible for the hospital strike, Biden's visit would have been perceived as having endorsed it. The coverage in Arab and global Islamic media would have been catastrophic, putting particular pressure on America's close ally Jordan's King Abdullah II. It would also have increased the risk of terrorist attacks against U.S. diplomats and citizens around the world.
Going forward, the key U.S. strategic interests are threefold. First, to enable Israel's securing of its objectives: the dramatic degradation of Hamas as a political and military entity. Second, to deter and, if necessary, help defeat the enjoining of this war by Iran, Syria, and/or the Lebanese Hezbollah. Third, ensure U.S. alliances are preserved without a descent into regional political chaos.
