President Biden Unequivocally Condemns Hamas, Supports Israel, October-November 2023

President Biden Unequivocally Condemns Hamas, Supports Israel, October-November 2023

In the aftermath of the horrific Hamas attack on Israelis where Hamas terrorists murdered more than a thousand Israelis and more than two dozen Americans, and others in southern Israel, in half a dozen speeches, President Biden unequivocally categorizes Hamas’s brutality as ‘pure unadulterated evil.’ He reiterates that the US will “stand with Israel.” He punctuates his support of Israel by sending two aircraft carrier groups to the Middle East, and his administration provides Israel with needed military supplies.

President Jimmy Carter, “The Camp David Accords,” Address to Congress, 1978

President Jimmy Carter, “The Camp David Accords,” Address to Congress, 1978

The Camp David accords culminated after thirteen days of intense negotiations between Israeli, Egyptian, and American delegations. Egyptian and Israeli leaders met with President Carter where after difficult negotiations they signed two accords, one an outline for an Egyptian-Israeli Treaty and one for Palestinian self-rule. The negotiations continued for another six months until the Egyptian-Treaty was signed in March 1979, after considerable bad feeling was tossed back and forth between Israeli and American negotiators.

Israel in Context: Options and Realities for Biden’s Foreign Policy in the Middle East (47:41)

Israel in Context: Options and Realities for Biden’s Foreign Policy in the Middle East (47:41)

President Biden comes to the presidency with more Washington experience than any other former president. While he has designated a foreign policy team with significant experience, his immediate priorities will be domestic. With a razor thin senate majority why would he expend political capital in trying to find solutions to Middle Eastern issues that are highly complex, seemingly intractable, and culturally embedded? The exception might be seeking to curtail Iran’s nuclear and regional aggressiveness.
