In the first-ever wartime visit of a sitting American president to the Jewish state, Joe Biden arrives in Israel in a show of solidarity with the embattled country. Biden’s visit comes in the wake of several other presidential measures in support of Israel, among them the deployment of two aircraft-carrier strike groups to the Middle East and the placement of a 2,000-strong rapid response on high alert.
