The Biden administration’s approach to the Israel-Hamas conflict and the broader implications for US strategy in the Middle East has come under fire, as the administration has gone back and forth regarding the degree to which they plan to support the close ally.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s comments suggest the US won’t fully support Israel in a prolonged fight against Hamas, despite Israel’s efforts to minimize civilian casualties.
Iran’s influence is also a growing concern, as Houthi forces, supported by Tehran, have attacked US vessels, signaling potential escalation. (Trending: Tucker Reveals The Moment He Became A Full-Blown Trump Supporter)

“I don’t think you have the credit for that,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated, “The entire Israeli society is united behind the goal of dismantling Hamas, even if it takes months.”
“The massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale we saw in northern Gaza [must] not be repeated in the south”; Israel must “clearly and precisely” designate civilian safe zones and avoid “enduring internal displacement,” Blinken added.
There’s concern that Biden’s approach could lead to further conflict and ultimately pressure Israel to end the fighting prematurely.
The Pentagon confirmed an attack on a U.S. warship and commercial vessels in the Red Sea, marking an escalation in the series of maritime attacks linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
