The timing of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s rocket attacks on Israel and on Israeli population centers is no accident. Just over 100 days into office, President Joe Biden has drawn America’s enemies Iran and its terror proxies close to the U.S. administration, all while distancing from U.S. allies Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the peacemaking Gulf Arab states. The more than 3,313 rockets fired by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad from Gaza toward Israel exemplify Biden’s failed foreign policy.
It was not until almost one month after he was inaugurated, that Biden finally placed a call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While Netanyahu was his first call as president to a Middle Eastern leader, the call only took place after Republican outrage was expressed at Biden’s seeming neglect of America’s closest ally in the Middle East.
